Power Supply

The entire power supply of the data center Hamburg Hammerbrook is designed as a dual power and emergency power supply with an uninterrupted A and B supply and with an additional redundant power supply for all critical technical building equipment such as air-conditioning, cooling, ventilation, and security systems. In addition, the data center Berlin Britz has two feeds on the 10 kV level.

UPS and associated battery systems are designed redundantly for each A and B supply and can bridge the power supply for at least 15 minutes at 100% maximum load. The generators are controlled automatically, so that the generators start on their own if a power supply fails. The available fuel can power the entire electrical supply of the location for 24 hours without interruption.

• Redundant 10 kV feed
• Separate UPS systems (separate, fully redundant A and B supply)
• Redundantly designed power replacement systems with diesel generators
• Power is derived from 100% renewable energy

Air Conditioning

• Energy-efficient, redundant, recirculating cooling systems
• Redundant climate cabinets and cooling pumps
• Building control systems to monitor all technical facilities and systems
• Air conditioning systems with central ventilation and humidification & dehumidification

Fire Protection

For the interior of the colocation areas of the data center Hamburg Hammerbrook, special, non–combustible or very flame-resistant materials were used exclusively. Extensive fire fighting and fire protection systems are installed inside the data center.

• Comprehensive monitoring of all rooms and levels
• Automatic digital fire alarms and systems
• Early fire detection with VESDA systems
• Automatic, double-secured dry-pipe sprinkler system for extinguishing

Security

Physical, technical, and personnel security thanks to a multi-level security system, from monitoring the site and the building to monitoring the co-location area and individual systems:

• Video surveillance system for the grounds and buildings in combination with a hazard detection system
• Secured property boundaries through security fencing
• Access control via contactless smart card and biometric palm scanners
• Close-circuit video surveillance of doors and access points with automatic intrusion alarm
• Various sensors inside and outside the building for intrusion detection
