Kedington Group and Waterford Institute of Technology have announced the development of an energy-efficient data centre to support research by the Telecommunications Software and Systems Group (TSSG).
The Group is working on an average of 40-50 research and development projects designed to push the boundaries of telecommunications networking.
The new state-of-the-art facilities will allow researchers to develop and test prototypes and commercialisation strategies.
“The data centre is located within the new building on the West Campus and will be able to support numerous research projects simultaneously, many dealing with cloud computing and others requiring a great deal of data crunching and advanced networking,” said Jerry Horgan, Senior Systems Engineer at TSSG. “Energy efficiency was critical, but the data centre also had to be flexible, allowing for rapid reconfiguration at regular intervals as research projects changed.”
The Kedington claims the TSSG data centre is one of the most fuel efficient in Ireland. Kedington specified Rittal LCP technology which uses chilled water and will provide free cooling 72% of the time.
