Imtech Next Generation Green Data Centres
Imtech outlines proposals for lowering OPEX and addressing environmental issues within the data centre.
Imtech, a technical services provider that specialises in the design, build and maintenance of next generation green data centres, has a strategic push into the data centre arena with a range of innovative green solutions. Data Centres account for over 2% of CO2 emissions and an average Data Centre can cost over £5M to power per year. Imtech’s innovative “Common Rail Cooling®” architecture provides a new solution which can drastically reducing the power required. Combined with new techniques for virtualisation in both the computer servers and the networking infrastructure, Imtech’s next generation Green Data Centres are providing clear environmental benefits while reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Imtech develops new products and services. Introducing Imtech’s innovative “Common Rail Cooling®”

Shared objectives
Minimising TCO
Use of scalable designs
Energy optimisation
CO2 reduction
Faster realisation of data centres
Upgrade of data centres with minimal downtime
Flexible in availability-factor: mixing Tier 1-4
Green IT design
Meeting the EU-code of conduct on Data centres
Sustainable is cheaper?
Why?
Energy is one of the major cost drivers in data centres
Power availability is a key factor in locating DC’s
Optimisation of energy consumption drives down your TCO
DC’s perform mostly at 1,8 to 2,2 Energy Usage Efficiency (EUE) factor
How?
Designing Green DC’s without rising CAPEX
Energy overhead (EUE) factor far better (1,2) than the new EU code (1,3)
Saving for a medium sized DC (10 MW £3M per year
Solutions needs 4Mw Power less and is more flexible and cheaper to locate
Design
Goals:
Managed services
Optimising E,M,ICT, Security combination
EUE possible < 1.2
Strategy:
Flexibility, modular design with off-the-shelf major components
Back-up systems, major components power & cooling outside cooled zone
Sectioning walls for flexible spatial optimalisation
Outside or roof mounted heat exchangers
N + 1 redundancy
Secure logistics through separation of disciplines E,M,ICT & customers, reducing security costs
By listening to our clients and understanding their processes, we can devise customised solutions or, as we call them, special market solutions. Examples of these include new energy services, ICT in healthcare, consultancy, building automations or total facility management. By offering product innovation and development in a separate business unit, we can focus more effectively on developing innovative solutions for complex client issues.
The Imtech datacenter design has been built on the many years' experience within the field of construction (modernisation), maintenance and energy management. The unique combination of electrical engineering, ICT and tool construction from Imtech offers a range of advantages which results in low operational costs and high availability - essential parameters for its customers.

The complete datacentre solution:
Imtech will the take over the responsibility for all technical supplies: from the first recommendation to construction, installation, maintenance and energy management.
Operational outsourcing:
Imtech are the party which in the field of supplies in for the takes over the responsibility for all operational activities: installation, maintenance, and energy management.
Consultancy design:
Imtech offer analysis, recommendation, and design to achieve: flexible lower Total Cost of ownership (TCO).
Our experienced engineers look at the development of new premises. Carry out of for the Health check, consulting and design.
Most important activities:
• Integrated installation concepts, basis designs and fixing the relevant data and specifications installations technical based on calculations and tenders.
• Formulated technical wishes of customers, analyse and recommend solutions to technical problems of a complex nature.
• Project, data study, analyse, interpret and classify. Feasibility with risk, treatment and (detail) planning stipulates and where necessary considered with (project) the control discuss.
