Fibernet successfully applies energy efficiency to its CPD TIER 3+ from Madrid

The Fibernet data center, located in the Madrid town of Tres Cantos, It has completed five years since its opening, successfully applying the energy efficiency criteria.

The energy efficiency requirements that Fiber network, Spanish FO transmission equipment company Teldat Group, imposed five years ago when it built its CPD at its headquarters in Madrid have been positively fulfilled.

In compliance with the Ecodesign directive (2005/32/CE EuP), Fibernet established a series of ecological requirements that it was obliged to meet, both in PUE, as in environmental impact assessment, of efficient equipment according to manufacturers, energy or water consumption and energy growth according to demand.

It is CPD of more than 500 m2, It is classified as TIER 3+, although it is designed to grow in features and services according to customer demands to offer accommodation services, hosting and advanced monitoring and critical services. For Antonio Gorrachategui, director of the CPD business area of ​​this company, “Fibernet has an internal process control procedure, through which the corresponding environmental controls are carried out, ISO 14001, and ITIL procedures”.

Five years after its inauguration, The concepts that define the energy efficiency of this CPD are the use of efficient energies, optimization in its use, consolidation and virtualization of equipment. To this is added the modular growth and its redundant operation and high availability with secure systems against physical and environmental threats., as well as optimizing equipment performance and maximizing energy savings in cooling..

As this manager points out, In the data centers of the coming years, “less physical intervention in accordance with virtualization and automated management will be of great importance.”. Power and cooling density will change due to the emergence of optical processors, use of the photon and not the electron, and the size of the CPD will be smaller while the bandwidth will grow will be a key factor”.

In addition to the services it offers in its CPD to large companies, Fibernet connects with fiber optics near the 80% of the large data centers in Spain in different sectors such as banking, with clients like Banco Santander, CaixaBank, BBVA, etc. and the Public Administration, like the Tax Agency, DGT, ICO, Correos or Renfe.
