SPACE DC of designing and building a portfolio of data centres that are not only capable of delivering world-class colocation services in the heart of Jakarta , but doing it sustainably . “ Success in SEA is really dependent on building to a design that maximises your facility ' s efficiency in this hot and humid climate .”
As a result , Space DC ’ s Jakarta data centres - which are both housed on its 1.8 hectare ID01 campus - take a novel approach to cooling their server racks . “ Rather than use a very traditional chilled water solution , or even a DX CRAC unit design , we ' re using high-efficiency , variable-speed chillers , which bring our efficiency right up and our PUE right down ,” Stavroulakis explains . “ With the design of JAK2 , we spent a lot of time designing and building to both international and Indonesian standards to make sure that the
facility meets the needs and expectations of both overseas and domestic customers .” JAK2 uses fan walls to cool its server racks which , as opposed to a traditional CRAC unit , is far more efficient . Stavroulakis adds that , from a design and maintenance perspective , “ Fan walls also mean that there ' s no raised floor , which means we can install bigger , heavier , denser racks . The other advantage there is that the fan walls can all be maintained by the onsite staff , as opposed to having to call in a more specialised contractor to come and repair a broken CRAC unit .” Keeping both temperatures and PUE ’ s low in a climate like Jakarta is no mean feat , but for Space DC , it ’ s a nonnegotiable issue . As Harrington explains , “ Sustainability really is at the heart of our philosophy , starting from the design phase of the data centre .”
JAK1 : BRINGING HYPERSCALE TO INDONESIA
CASE STUDY ...
“ Indonesia ’ s data centre sector is expected to grow significantly , driven largely by mass e-commerce adoption . Currently , there is more than 100 MW of hyperscale capacity that ' s expected to be added to the market over the next few years ,” Hawkins says . “ And we ' ll be developing 25 MW of that ourselves in our ID01 campus .”
The overwhelming share of that capacity will be housed in JAK1 , Space DC ’ s 24 MW hyperscale data centre . Built to exacting Tier III , OCP-Ready , Colo Solution Provider Status standards , JAK1 promises to be one of the most cutting-edge , efficient and green data centres , both in Indonesia and all of SEA .
