What you'll be seeing:
Terremark's flagship facility, the NAP of the Americas®, is one of the most significant telecommunications projects in the world. The Tier-IV facility was the first purpose-built, carrier-neutral Network Access Point and is the only facility of its kind specifically designed to link Latin America with the rest of the world. More than 160 global carriers exchange data at the NAP of the Americas.
Building Features
750,000 square foot, purpose-built datacenter
Tier IV facility with N+2 power and cooling infrastructure
Equipment floors 32 feet above sea level
Roof slope designed to aid in drainage of floodwater in excess of 100-year storm intensity assisted by 18 rooftop drains
Designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane with approximately 19 million pounds of concrete roof ballast
7 inch thick steel reinforced concrete exterior panels
The building is outside FEMA 500-year designated flood zone
Power
The electrical and mechanical systems at the NAP of the Americas represent the most advanced and reliable integrated systems of their kind, in the world. These systems have proven to be an important differentiator in attracting a highly sophisticated client base.
Environmentals
The following power, environmental, and fire suppression capabilities exist to protect the NAP of the Americas.
100% AC power availability guarantee
Redundant power vaults fed from multiple substations
Two independent 13,200 volt feeders supply the medium voltage switchgear
Uninterrupted, stable power by 6 HiTEC Continuous Power Systems which provide a transfer time 10 times better than a typical UPS power system found in most data centers
Each HiTEC unit is rated at 2 megawatts for a total of 12 megawatts of capacity
Five redundant chilled-water heat exchange systems with 2000 tons of chilled water to cool the building
Humidity maintained at 45% - 55%
Air systems refreshed through filtered vents at four sides of the building
Electronic detection systems for monitoring and maintaining all environmentals
Smoke and heat sensors provided in:
- Colocation space
- Communication equipment rooms
- Mechanical and electrical rooms
TotalPac Pre-action dry pipe fire suppression system which holds water outside of the building until a fire is verified, ensuring that water will not accidentally drain into equipment areas
Temperature continuously kept at 72°F ± 5°F
The power and environmental systems of the NAP of the Americas are so advanced that our technicians can perform maintenance on any element of your system without impacting your operations. This design allows us to deliver an unprecedented 100% availability guarantee for all power and environmental systems.
....all very interesting but the pictures are worth a thousand words and in person it's amazing....
