Fortune Data Centers

Sustainability & Efficiency

Efficiency and innovation at Fortune San Jose have set the pace in Silicon Valley:

	First data center to go carbon neutral (2011)
	First data center in CA to offer Direct Access on power purchase to clients  (2010)
	First multi-tenant data center in the United States to receive LEED-Gold certification (2009)
	First multi-tenant data center in the US to pass through actual PUE, actual power cost, and actual usage for power (2009)
	First multi-tenant data center in Silicon Valley to use 100% cold / hot aisle containment as well as an overhead/ductless cooling supply that eliminated the need for raised floor

Keeping Cool

No raised floor: Rather than force cold air through raised floor, cooling is
supplied from an overhead plenum, leveraging cold air’s natural density.
Heat is exhausted via insulated ducts running through the plenum, relying on
the buoyancy of hot air. These techniques also minimize air supply and
return paths, further reducing power needed for air distribution.

Free cooling: Fortune draws on ambient cooling to supplement and
optimize chilling capacity.

Containment: Fortune uses contained hot and cold aisles in the data rooms,
reducing unplanned mixing of hot and cold air.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Waste not: By designing around and adapting to the existing industrial
infrastructure of a former hard drive manufacturing facility, over 1,137 tons of
material were either recycled or re-used during facility construction. This means
96% of construction waste was diverted from landfill.

Highly Efficient Infrastructure

Best in Class Equipment: High-efficiency UPS units and cooling towers and use of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on pumps, air handlers, and chillers.

Optimized & Automated Management: The facility employs an advanced building management system (BMS) to monitor environmental conditions and resource allocation.
