Polish telco Netia has opened its new data center outside Warsaw.
The Netia Data Center Mind facility in Jawczyce, just outside the capital, offers 1,000 sqm (10,700 sq ft) of server space across four rooms, allowing for the colocation of nearly 520 racks, as well as nearly 700 sqm (7,500 sq ft) of office space.
Rather than using conventional (static) uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), the facility is using two DRUPS Hitec PowerPRo2700 with a power of 2MW each. DRUPS (Diesel Rotary UPS) do not use batteries, but store kinetic energy in a rotating mass, and can be more energy efficient.
Within weeks of opening, the facility is reportedly already one-third occupied. One of the facility’s first customers is Polish technology firm CloudFerro.
