Emerson Network Power, a business unit of of NYSE-listed Emerson, is working with Facebook to design and deploy the company’s second data center building in Luleå, Sweden.
“We worked with Facebook to understand their wants and needs, and we collectively developed an integrated, cost-effective, tailored solution,” said Scott Barbour, global business leader of Emerson Network Power.
Luleå 2 will be the pilot for Facebook’s new rapid deployment data centre (RDDC), which was designed and developed in collaboration with Emerson Network Power’s data center design team. Facebook’s RDDC incorporates a number of modular design elements, including pre-fabricated materials and on-site assembly, to enable an increase in the speed of deployment and reduction in material use.
Luleå 2 will span about 125,000 sq. ft. and Emerson will deliver over 250 shippable modules, including power skids, evaporative air handlers, a water treatment plant, and data centre superstructure solutions.
It will be built next to Facebook’s first data centre building in Luleå, which came online in June 2013. Like its predecessor, Luleå 2 will be powered wholly by renewable energy and will feature the latest in open compute project server, storage, mechanical, and electrical designs.
