STAR OF BOSPHORUS DATA CENTER
‘ With a size of about 24,000sqm and a total power of 16MW , Star of Bosphorus operates over 2,000 standard racks and is secured with two external power feeds and 24 / 7 maintenance ’
Systems ( USA ). Yasibeyli says : “ We consulted local specialists and professors of seismology , and ARUP ( USA ) was involved into peer review of structural design and seismic isolator design . Today , we are sure that Star of Bosphorus is one of the best seismically-protected data centers in the world .”
“ Our constant challenge is to ensure we comply with the highest quality , safety , and reliability standards at all construction phases - from design to equipment selection and installation ,” adds Yasibeyli . “ Yes , it takes time and resources , but when standards are high , there is no place for trade-offs .”
Professor and NGN ’ s consultant as seismic expert , Dr Barış Erkuş , was also highly excited by the facility ’ s structural and seismic design .
“ What makes Star of Bosphorus Data Centre genuinely unique is the seismic design of the facility ,” says Erkuş . “ We implemented the best seismic protection system which ensures keeping the data center operational during earthquakes with a probability of one-in-every 2,000 years , which also established a new standard for future projects in the region .” The facility was awarded a LEED Gold certification , the most popular green building certification , thanks to its innovative equipment and systems which ensure environmental safety . By using free cooling technology when available , the data centre has achieved a Power Usage Effectiveness rating
