Vietnam ’ s HTC-ITC benefits from energy saving data centre delivered by Delta

Delta Electronics , a global leader in

power and thermal management solutions , has announced the successful implementation of its energysaving POD ( Point of Delivery ) data centre solution to enable Vietnam ’ s first Uptime TCCF ( Tier Certification of Constructed Facility ) TIER III-certified data centre for HTC-ITC , a subsidiary of Hanoi Telecom .
The TIER III certification by the US-based Uptime Institute entails an annual uptime of 99.982 % for this newly implemented data centre .
This IT facility is also expected to achieve an eco-friendly high-efficiency-grade ( 1 ) annual Power Use Effectiveness ( PUE ) value as low as 1.4 through the support of Delta ’ s uninterruptible power supply ( UPS ) systems , in-row precision cooling , environmental monitoring platform , racks , accessories and the Data Centre Infrastructure Monitoring ( DCIM ) system for comprehensive and remote control .
Madam Trinh Minh Chau , Chairwoman of HTC-ITC , expressed her delight in co-operating with Delta Electronics . Through its collaboration with Delta , HTC-ITC intended to build the best quality data centre and provide worldclass service to customers in Vietnam and around the world .
Victor Cheng , Delta ’ s Senior Vice President and General Manager of its Information Communication Technology Infrastructure Business Group , said : “ We applaud the continuous efforts of HTC-ITC and its parent company , Hanoi Telecom , to facilitate next-generation ICT infrastructure for its customers in Vietnam .
“ Being able to construct the country ’ s first Uptime TIER III-certified data centre for HTC-ITC is truly an honour for Delta . Together with our partners and customers in the region , we are building
the foundations of the 5G networks that will support substantial economic growth for years to come .”
HTC-ITC ’ s new data centre , located in the Hoa Lac High-Tech Zone , occupies 750 square metres and has a total power capacity of 750kW original requirement plus 750kW for redundant power protection , in line with Uptime ’ s TIER III 2N architecture specifications .
This data centre is expandable to 900 racks in total . Delta ’ s highly modular and scalable POD data centre solution provides the flexibility and reliability to achieve this rigorous qualification .
Unlike TIER I and TIER II , the Uptime TIER III Constructed Facility Certification ( TCCF ) -certified data centres do not allow shutdowns during maintenance or replacement . For example , in addition to the 99.982 % annual uptime requirement , float voltage on the isolated equipment must be close to 0 while no hotspots with a temperature over 25 º C are allowed .
The HTC-ITC ’ s data centre has reached 52 tests to pass the TCCF certification , the first time ever for a data centre built in Vietnam . ◊
DELTA ’ S HIGHLY MODULAR AND SCALABLE POD DATA CENTRE SOLUTION PROVIDES THE FLEXIBILITY AND RELIABILITY TO ACHIEVE THIS RIGOROUS QUALIFICATION .
