CRITICAL FACILITIES - UNIVERSITY OF UTAH'S DOWNTOWN DATA CENTER

摘要

In April of 2011, the University of Utah broke ground on a reno-vation to consolidate multiple production centers into a central multi-tier data center in support of their diverse program mix, which includes the university's Center for High-Performance Computing (CHPC). Like many institutions, these production centers had expanded over the years but had limited room for growth and did not always have the critical infrastructure needed to ensure reliable operation. These limited spaces also forced mechanical systems to work harder, and, in the process, use more energy.
