of the systems and the processes and to automate as much as we can to eliminate human error .
We ’ ve put a lot of time and effort into the design and operations of our data centers to look at what we can do to ensure that they are up and running 24 / 7 . And if the system goes down , what ’ s our redundancy within the design element , but also within the operations team – how do we work to ensure that nothing goes down and if this does happen , how do we efficiently and effectively move to the next set of systems and technologies to keep that data center running 24 / 7 ?
It ’ s actually quite exciting for us to be the first greenfocused data center in Indonesia .

How important is cooling technology in a data center , particularly in a tropical climate ?
It ’ s much easier for countries where they ’ ve got cold air , so you generally see a lower PUE . But , obviously , in a human set country you have to really look at the design and the cooling technology . We have implemented fanwall technology because it ’ s highly efficient and reduces your PUE substantially , so we are able to achieve a PUE of 1.3 in hot tropical climates . Also , the beauty of a fanwall is if it needs to be fixed , you don ’ t need to go into the data hall like you would with a CRAC – you can do it outside the white space to ensure that our customers ’ data and all of their equipment is always really secure .
