Johnson Controls supplies cooling
solution for state-of-the-art data centre
Johnson Controls has won a significant contract to provide an innovative cooling solution at
Finland’s largest open data centre being built for Telia Finland.
The new facility in Helsinki will use electric energy from renewable and carbon neutral sources.
Waste heat will be recycled and used in district heating network. The first phase of the facility is
expected to cost between €130 and €150 million and is expected to be operational by spring 2018.
Once completed the Telia data centre will be 33,500m 2 and have a 24MW IT-power
capacity – meaning it will require a further eight chilling units to cool the massive ICT
infrastructure in the future. The new facility is intended to satisfy growing demand for cloud,
colocation and other services around the Finnish capital, where electricity is relatively
inexpensive and climate is cool.

Greencore Group takes its infrastructure global
using Datapipe’s international capabilities
Greencore, the international convenience food manufacturer, has leveraged Datapipe’s
global presence to set up infrastructure in the United States to initially host its voice
and video application, Skype for Business.
Greencore has been an Adapt client since 2014, outsourcing all of its infrastructure
requirements. In November 2016, Greencore announced its acquisition of US based
Peacock Foods and as a result, it needs access to local infrastructure in the United States.
In August 2016, Adapt became a Datapipe company and now offers clients access to
its global footprint that encompasses the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Greencore
has taken advantage of this capability to host its latency sensitive applications, such as
voice and video, in US data centres in Kansas City and New Jersey.
Datapipe is now able to offer Greencore a true choice of best execution venue for its
infrastructure – important now that the US comprises nearly half of Greencore’s annual sales.

Zenium has announced that
it has started construction
of Zenium Frankfurt Two.
Marked with a breaking ground
ceremony in partnership
with construction contractor,
Lupp Group, Zenium has also
confirmed that it has secured
a pre-let contract for 7MW
of power with a global IT
services company. Frankfurt
Two is the seventh data centre
announced by Zenium in less
than two years.
Built directly alongside
Frankfurt One, which Zenium
acquired in 2015, Frankfurt
Two will offer large scale data
centre capacity with diverse
carrier neutral connectivity
to serve cloud providers,
systems integrators and large
enterprises.
In line with Zenium’s
forward thinking approach,
Frankfurt Two will also offer
fully customisable solutions
and leading-edge energy
efficiencies achieved through
the use of the latest in
adiabatic cooling technology
which will result in uniquely
low PUEs. On site support will
be managed by the Zenium in-
house facilities management
and security teams.
Located in Sossenheim,
Germany’s ‘Digital City’ and
home of DE-CIX, the world’s
largest Internet Exchange,
Frankfurt Two will deliver
17.6MW of IT power to 7,500m 2
of world-class technical space
housed over five floors providing
highly resilient, concurrently
maintainable power and cooling
to Tier 3+ standards.
