An efficient cooling solution for Santubong’s irix DC, Malaysia

Background

Santubong’s irix DC is the only Tier IV data center in Malaysia, a carrier-neutral and green facility strategically located in Kuching, Sarawak. This state-of-the-art data center offers direct international connectivity with Indonesia, Singapore, China, the Philippines, and beyond through the Batam-Sarawak Internet Cable System (BaSiCS) and the upcoming Southeast Asia Express Cable System Hainan-Hong Kong (SEA H2X).

Certified as a Tier IV facility by the Uptime Institute, irix DC meets the highest global standards and ensures efficiency, security, and long-term performance for customers’ mission-critical data. To ensure an optimal and efficient cooling environment, Geoclima was tasked with providing high-performance cooling solutions.

Project

Geoclima supplied 4 air-cooled Turbomiser chillers with a total cooling capacity of 2200 kW, capable of ensuring an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 5.50. This solution ensures high energy efficiency and reduces the environmental impact of the data center.

Geoclima’s chillers were designed to operate across a wide range of environmental and load conditions, ensuring reliable and consistent performance over time. The advanced technology used in Geoclima’s chillers allows for optimizing energy consumption and reducing the data center’s operating costs.

Results

Thanks to the cooling solutions provided by Geoclima, Santubong’s irix DC was able to achieve a high level of energy efficiency and ensure a stable and reliable cooling environment for its customers’ mission-critical data. This allowed the data center to meet the highest global standards and position itself as a leader in the green and carrier-neutral data center industry.

Furthermore, the use of Geoclima’s chillers contributed to reducing the data center’s environmental impact, supporting global efforts in the fight against climate change and promoting a more sustainable future.

Conclusion

Santubong’s irix DC represents a successful example of Geoclima’s commitment to providing high-performance cooling solutions for data centers. Through collaboration with Geoclima, Santubong’s irix DC was able to ensure an efficient and reliable cooling environment for its customers while maintaining a green and sustainable approach to the data center industry.
