Telehouse South interior
Diverse roots The Docklands campus has a range of individual qualities that make it a unique site . Inside , resiliency is critical , with testing taking place every month to ensure systems are still operating to a high standard .
Burning 400 litres of fuel an hour , acoustic panels are vital to break up any escaping heat , in addition to cleaning fuel loops to make sure biofuel is being integrated successfully . There is talk of moving towards hydrogen fuel in the future , however these conversations are still in their infancy as practicalities are ironed out across the industry .
As the work completed at this site is mostly fibre-based , the carrier room has a range of fibre optic cable routes which can be interlinked depending on individual customer need .
There are also 10 cooling units per floor , which are a variation of airbased or liquid air cooling solutions . Whilst these are energy efficient , they use a lot of water – something which Paul is eager to change . Paul adds : “ As we look to the future , we will continue to build out further floors within Telehouse South and optimise our infrastructure . This includes trialling new cooling solutions , such as liquid cooling systems , to handle the increasing heat density associated with emerging technologies .”
