Project Type: Data Centers
Views: 245This high density data center utilizes 8,000 square feet raised-floor space on the first floor and accommodates up to 12 server-filled containers on the roof. The team's concept included "hot water cooling" to support the requirement for year-round use of fresh air cooling (free cooling), despite the temperatures in Phoenix. The team was among 20 entrants in an open RFP, intended to prompt innovation in data center design using modular data centers, which are typically built in a factory and assembled on-site, resulting in a faster and cheaper construction process.The ebay project calls for a combination of approaches to cooling and reliability, using both air cooling and liquid cooling in different parts of the facility. The Grand Opening of the facility was held in December 2011.
