Imtech to supply 'green' data centres for BT Benelux and BT Germany
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Gouda, The Netherlands - Imtech N.V. (technical services provider in Europe)
announces that it will supply the technical infrastructure in 'green' data
centres for BT in the Netherlands and BT in Germany. Imtech will provide a total
solution on the basis of Design, Build & Maintain. CO2 emissions will be reduced
by 40%.
Imtech's CEO René van der Bruggen: 'The sharply increased bandwidth of
information streams, the increasing intensity of data traffic and by the market
desired improvements in performance and security mean that telecommunications
and IT providers are investing in improving and expanding data capacity. At the
same time, the demands on the environment are increasing dramatically. Data
centres, which necessarily require significant amounts of energy, must become as
'green' as possible. Imtech offers total solutions for 'green' data centre
technology. This order proves that Imtech is becoming one of the strongest
technical players in the fast growing market for 'green' data centres in
Europe.'
Imtech's total solution for data centres
In order to help BT offer its customers the best and most sustainable IT and
telecommunication services possible, the focus in the new data centre will be on
'cloud-based computing' (sharing computer infrastructure), high-tech network IT
services based on virtualisation (optimising data use and storage) and an
extremely energy-efficient 'green' IT infrastructure. For BT's customers this
will facilitate cost savings as well as performance and efficiency enhancements
with a high level of security and IT protection. At the same time, the
sustainability level will be noticeably increased. Imtech guarantees an
optimally energy-efficient data centre with a small footprint in terms of CO2
and other detrimental greenhouse gases. To achieve all of this, Imtech will
provide the basic design both for the building and for the technology, the
detail engineering and the implementation of all modular technical solutions. In
addition, Imtech will maintain these data centres for a period of ten years. The
data centres will go into operation during 2011.
'Green' technology
BT tasked Imtech with the design, build and management of day-to-day maintenance
of the new data centre capacity, The new facilities will be amongst the first to
meet the standards in the EU's 'Code of Conduct', which provides guidelines for
data centre energy management. To make that possible, the data centres will use
efficient power supplies, a state-of-the-art energy management and cooling
system, as well as integrated electrical and mechanical solutions. The aim is to
achieve Energy Usage Efficiency (EUE) rates that are below the recommended
guidelines, resulting in a very small footprint in terms of CO2 and other
detrimental greenhouse gases
