MAINCUBES ONE DATA CENTRE - SECOND STAGE
The new data centre Maincubes One in the centre of the Rhein / Main area has reached the second stage of construction . After the foundation was laid on 30th August 2016 , the construction work for the new high performance computer centre has been strongly pushed ahead to finish the last , third floor before the onset of winter . Maincubes is now on schedule and is expected to start with the interior fitting as of mid-January 2017 .
The Tier 3 data centre will be completed in 2017 and guarantees a very high energy efficiency , realised by a new spatial design coupled with innovative technology . Due to the special architecture , no disturbing support pillars , walls or climatically unfavourable areas , an above average density can be achieved on the fully usable area of 4,200m 2 per unit . The result being lower space costs and higher efficiency . The average surface load of 2kW / m ² crosses the limits of today ’ s data centres by far .
With the latest cooling systems , Maincubes One achieves a power usage effectiveness ( PUE ) of less than 1.30 . Both values are guaranteed to the customer and save budget in both areas , space utilisation and power usage . For further information visit : www . maincubes . com
