Ericsson: Efficiency, sustainability, reliability

GIGA Colocation: Designing for scalability

‘‘The BMS, PMS and EMS form the heart and brain of the site, and here they are all integrated into one system. This helps in easier monitoring of the facility. That’s what I rely on when I am sleeping at home at night.” Mikael Anckers, Head of Building Operations at Ericsson’s Global ICT Center.

GIGA Colocation: Designing for scalability

GIGA's goal is to bring hyperscale efficiency and cost standards to the colocation industry. ABB helped GIGA iterate their design and optimize for their expected growth.

ABB: Secure hosting of on-site IT equipment at Switzerland factory

XDC+: Smart Digital Data Center

ABB installed the Secure Edge Data Center (SEDC) in it's Schaffhausen, Switzerland factory to reduce cost, deployment time, and emissions, all while improving security and safety. The SEDC is an all-in-one plug and play industrial data center solution that is specifically designed to run in industrial environments, bringing enterprise-grade IT capacity closer to the point of data collection and machine control.

XDC+ chose ABB as a partner for their Uptime Tier IV certified data center in Jiangsu, China to provide a smarter digital data center. XDC+ leveraged a complete power distribution and automation solution, with digital switchgear, PDU’s and an 800xA automation system to provide advanced monitoring & control with open protocol, IEC61850.

Serverius: The value of a strong partnership

Lefdal: Europe's greenest data center

"Strong partnership for us with ABB is not only outsourcing your electricity needs but working together to get the perfect solution inside our current data centers." - Gijs van Gemert, Serverius IT infrastructure

The Lefdal Mine data center is built 150 meters into a mountain in what was formerly an underground mine for excavating olivine, a green, high density-mineral used in steel production. With ABB technology Lefdal Mine Datacenter plans to become Europe’s biggest, with the smallest environmental footprint.

Alticom: ABB Ability and data center solutions

DODID, a start-up in Singapore,specializing in providing co-location services for companies looking for a value-added Uptime Institute Tier III Certified Cloud Service Provider. ABB was selected to help DODID realize uptime, speed and yeild.

Alticom, a tele-communications company in Netherlands partnered with ABB for electrification and remote monitoring and control of their micro data centers in tele-communications towers.

Volico: rightsizing your data center

Systemec: 100% uptime

Volico Data Centers’ owner/operations manager built his center with a pay-as-we-grow concept in mind. But when it came time to grow, it was a no-go because his UPS didn’t have the needed flexibility and scalability. ABB’s new Conceptpower DPA 500 UPS provided the easy scalability and reliability needed to support his growth.

“Connectivity is very important,” says Jos Derkx, General Manager at Systemec. “Industry depends on it, worldwide. It’s a big decision for a customer to take the data ‘heart’ out of their own facility. Downtime for our customers would kill their businesses. They need 24/7 uptime. At Systemec, we live on trust. We sell trust. And ABB could fulfil that 100%.”

Safe Host: keeping the power on

Improving data center performance at the University Hospital Basel with MNS®-Up

Safe Host built Switzerland's largest carrier-neutral colocation facility designed to host the most mission critical computer systems, with fully redundant subsystems. Safe Host turned to ABB to ensure that power is distributed without any interruptions and energy-efficiency and green goals were met.

At the University Hospital Basel all patient information is stored digitally in the hospital’s data center. With the number of patients increasing every year, but limited space to expand, ABB's MNS®-Up’s modular and scalable design allows the data center to increase in power but not in size.

Gaining a competitive edge

The data center industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, and with the increasing application of the Internet of Things, this growth is accelerating rapidly. The global rollout of 5G will put the growth of digital data into overdrive. As a result, there will be a growth of colocation and multi-tenant data centers..

Download this white paper to explore how to make your colocation data center more competitive through standardization and modularization.

Ten ways to boost efficiency

New data centers pack higher processing power in a considerably smaller space. However, high-density computing environments can be a huge drain on operating budgets with rising energy demand and power costs. This paper discusses how to make modern data centers more energy efficient by optimizing and realizing true IT and OT efficiency.

Data center digital journey

Download this white paper and learn how you can make your data center more competitive with digitalization by increasing efficiency, safety and reliability all while providing a future-proof platform for growth.

Data Center energy efficiency and management

Having a highly efficient data center is a very demanding task. Two of the main challenges are building a highly efficient data center, and having the right degree of information coming from measurements to take the correct action.

This paper discusses monitoring solutions, retrofitting options, and device selection for a more efficient data center design.

Energy storage options

There is only one area of universal agreement regarding UPS systems in data centers – you most likely need one. How that solution looks, however, can vary from data center to data center. This paper explores several solid energy storage options that can reliably ensure your uninterrupted operation and the integrity of your data.

Optimizing healthcare data center performance

This whitepaper discusses the healthcare sector’s increasing reliance on data and associated challenges, and offers practical advice for data center transformation and draws on a case study from the University Hospital of Basel.
