TULIP DATA CENTER - LARGEST DATA CENTER IN ASIA


The data center has been designed based on the recommendations made by the telecommunication industry associations. The data center is provisioned with up to 66 kV line power obtainable from 2 sub-stations on a high-tension format (7.5 MW). As of today, the center has received government sanction for receiving up to 40 MW power, and it has up to 7.5 MW power available, while the usage is around 4 MW only. In terms of its energy specification, the PUE comes up to 1.9 if used effectively to its maximum capacity, and presently, it is in the range of 1.4-1.6.

A redundancy of N+N has been maintained for every component needed in the data center including the transformers. These are also equipped with Novec 1230 extinguishers, fire-retardant paints on the doors that can stand glazing fire for up to 2-3 hours, and 200-400 kVA UPS and back-up batteries that can take the load for 20 minutes in full load.

Tulip Data Center claims to be first of its kind, as it has a distinct PAHU room and separate IT and electrical room, no non-IT entry in the server room. This Data Center follows closed containment cooling system, where the entire rack space is in a glass enclosure that maintains the temperature of the confinement rather cooling up the entire room. The chiller plant is located on the roof of the building. The water trails a closed circular system, in which case the same water is used over and over again. The whole of this data center is spread over 900,000 sq ft with the server built-up area being around 45,000 sq ft. Every floor plate has a capacity of about 20,000 sq ft or up to 600 racks in 6 kV per rack.
