InTechnology has opened a new, next generation data centre in Reading, England. The 350 rack facility offers colocated pods and private suites, with 15,000 square feet of space. It has highly resilient, redundant infrastructure with Tier 3 design. The data centre utilizes leading edge cooling and energy management technologies to achieve a low Power Usage Effectiveness rating of 1.25, saving around 40% on power costs compared to traditional facilities.

1. NEW NEXT GENERATION
DATA CENTRE /
READING /
InTechnology’s new Reading data centre is embedded in our high availability, multi-meshed
MPLS network and is part of our extensive multi-million pound investment programme.
Combining the very latest cooling technologies, an energy-efficient infrastructure, fully resilient

2. POWER USAGE EFFECTIVENESS (PUE) PUE /
The overall efficiency of a data centre can be
5%
determined by is PUE – the lower the PUE, the
16% 15% it equipment
higher the efficiency. The PUE is calculated by
40%
dividing the amount of power entering a data
electrical system
44% centre by the power used to run the computer
infrastructure within it. An efficient but traditional
PUE=2.5 PUE=1.25 COOLING SYSTEM
data centre will have a PUE of 2 or above . The
next generation of data centres have significantly
lower PUEs, saving some 40 per cent in power
TRADITIONAL READING costs. InTechnology’s Reading data centre has
