Our in-depth knowledge & vast experience of more than 29 years in building data centers have helped us develop in-house expertise over the data center skill sets With a strong team of numerous CDCP Certified professionals, designing & deploying multiple Data Centers, we at PRASA are not only helping customers build data centers, we can help them build the very foundation of their digital future!
PRASA is proud to share the commissioning of a 1.2MW high-density rack Data Center for one of the World’s largest color motion picture companies. We take pride in sharing that this project was completed in a record time of 4 months in all aspects at Bengaluru.
Highlights of the project –
Prasa Implemented the new Data Center as per the client’s requirement of Rendering Racks, Storage Racks, servers, and networking Racks with the Total data center area covering around 4500 sq. ft. As per client requirement set the entire infrastructure for the data center comprising of Civil, Interior works, Electrical, and UPS Systems along with SMF batteries for the desired backup time, DX-based Precision Air conditioning, and IBMS to cater to the data center requirement.
The Prasa Solution –
The new data center built by Prasa uses modern technology and spans across 5 rooms – Server Rendering Room, Server / Network Room, UPS Room, Battery Room, Staging/Storage & BMS Room. It has been modified with stairs, which assist in easy movement of equipment and will also facilitate upgrades in the future, and has fire rated wall that protects the data center from fire.
The data center follows the Cold Aisle containment solution, which makes the data center safer and smarter.
The data center is installed with In-row cooling systems that cool efficiently with precision and bring down the energy consumption and hence lower the PUE.
Civil: Completed Civil and interior works including wall partitions, flooring, etc as required to complete the Data Center as per the approved layout on the 5th floor of the building.
Electrical: Electrical works as per the Approved SLD. On the basement floor of the building inside the electrical room tapping from the Existing Main LT Panel feeder to done in 2 sources (source-1 and source-2 ) for providing the power to the data center.
HVAC: Complete HVAC as required for the data center cooling. DX-based Precision Air conditioners are to be used for cooling the data center and allied areas ( This kind of hybrid cooling with in-row & perimeter precision air handling units was uniquely designed to cater to high density (up to 20KW ) per rack load using DX Cooling technology). The server room and the electrical room are to be cooled by using the bottom discharge flooring mount PAC. Battery room to be cooled by industrial grade wall mount PAC. Other areas are cooled by the wall-mount split AC units.
IBMS: Complete IBMS systems as required to complete the Datacenter
Building Management System, IP CCTV System, Access Control System, Intelligent Fire Detection and Alarm System, Aspiration smoke detection system, NOVEC1230 Fire Suppression System, Water Leak Detection System, Rodent Repellent system
BMS: Prasa has provided a BMS System to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of the data center.
Passive Networking: Building-to-building connectivity is done with Armoured Single Mode Fiber cable.
Racks & PDU: Rack provided with 2 nos of PDUs. Cold Aisle containment done for the efficient cooling of the racks
Challenges –
- The Prasa team completed all data center project work during the Pandemic Situation
- Material movement and Transportation issues in the COVID-19 Situation
- The required solutions had to be energy–efficient and cost–effective without compromising on the quality of the technology being offered.
- The Data Center functioning and smooth working of equipment had to be managed post-completion of the Project.
Benefits –
- Modern technology along with In-row cooling systems reduces power usage considerably, therefore reducing the electricity bill and making the company energy efficient.
- Cold Aisle containment technology makes the data center facility safer and easier to manage for the data center staff.
- High-efficiency modular architecture UPS of 400 KVA X 4 nos. was installed to ensure scalability.
- The fire-rated door makes sure that in case of any fire outside the data center, the facility will be safe from fire, and any incident of fire inside the data center will be contained within and suppressed using a fire suppression system.
- The Lighting Scheme may be Satisfactory, economical, safe, colorful, effective comfortable, and energy efficient by choosing the proper maintenance factor and utilization factor
- In Row cooling unit for Render farm for closer to rack cooling availability
- Cold Aisle containment for the Render farm and Server Room.
- Fiber Basket Solution: – The Cable management fiber Basket Solution is a state-of-the-art offering that meets all the challenges of carrying data communication Cable while maintaining stringent requirements. Fiber Basket Solution is elegantly Simple to install and easy to fit.
