Going Forward
Renaissance Technologies planning to build a first of its kind 300,000 sq foot Tier -3 Green DataCenter in Bangalore with an investment of over 100 million dollars in the
next 3 years. Renaissance newest DataCenter combines the best in environment-friendly facility design, green approaches to power and cooling, and an architectural approach
optimized for virtualization and cloud computing, with the aim of delivering "everything as a service."
Some of the salient features of the DataCenter would be:
Tier -3 Compliance
Build to Suit Blocks for independent clients
Instead of hundreds of environmentally challenging batteries which are often used in older DataCenters, the
uninterruptable power supply (UPS) room in the 5 megawatt dataCenter (expandable to 10 megawatt) uses
rotary flywheels, which require little energy to continue in motion and start the diesel generators in case
of power loss.
The dataCenter would be cooled by an energy-efficient air-side economizer design, which reduces the need
for mechanical chilling by using ambient fresh air when the outside temperature is low enough.
A lagoon captures rainwater to irrigate the indigenous, drought-resistant landscape plants.
Solar cells on the roof generate 100 kilowatts of power for the office spaces in the building
