END USER INSIGHT
Indonesia . It ’ s actually exciting for us to do it anywhere , not just in Indonesia because being green really is at the heart of Space DC ’ s philosophy . So , we try in our design technology that we choose to put in the data centre and our operations , to be as sustainable and energy efficient as we can for the country we ’ re in , but also for our customers .

How do you operate with maximum productivity and reliability ?
So , maximum productivity is about using systems and processes to drive efficiency , to ensure that all team members know their roles and their objectives within their roles . We ’ re focused on what we can do in terms of the systems and the processes and to automate as much as we can to eliminate human error .
We ’ ve put a lot of time and effort into the design and operations of our data centres to look at what we can do to ensure that they are up and running 24 / 7 . And if the system goes down , what ’ s our redundancy within the design element , but also within the operations team – how do we work to ensure that nothing goes down and if this does happen , how do we efficiently and effectively move to the next set of systems and technologies to keep that data centre running 24 / 7 .
How important is cooling technology in a data centre , particularly in a tropical climate ?
It ’ s much easier for countries where they ’ ve got cold air , so you generally see a lower PUE . But , obviously , in a human set country you have to really look at the design and the cooling technology . We have implemented fanwall technology because it ’ s highly efficient and reduces your PUE substantially , so we are able to achieve a PUE of 1.3 in hot tropical climates . Also , the beauty of a fanwall is if it needs to be fixed , you don ’ t need to go into the data hall like you would with a CRAC – you can do it outside the white space to ensure that our customers ’
