Operational excellence is the driver
for Interxion and their new
DUB3 data centre
Interxion is a supplier of data centre, colocation and
connectivity services to some of the world’s leading
businesses, operating 49 data centres in 13 cities throughout
Europe, three of which are located in Ireland.
The newest addition is its DUB3 data centre located
at Grange Castle in west Dublin. DUB3 was opened in
December 2016 and is a 2,400sq metre single-storey, fully
concurrent maintainable facility with various fault-tolerant
infrastructure features.
To ensure maximum energy efficiency, DUB3 was
designed with a focus on energy saving, modular
architecture, incorporating cooling, as well as maximum
efficiency components. Interxion chose a greenfield site,
which would run on 100% renewable energy. Following the
completion of a rigorous process to assess environmental
impact and security risks construction started in mid-
February 2016.
As a long-term partner working with Interxion on many
global data centre projects, Schneider Electric contributed
various components of physical infrastructure from its
power, cooling and software solutions portfolio, ensuring
rapid construction, delivery, and seamless integration
between all critical components throughout DUB3’s design
and deployment stages.
