Facility overview

ADC Mitchell is designed to Tier 3+ standards as per the Uptime Institute. The facility will be one of a handful of data centres formally accredited by the Uptime Institute. The data centre has an availability rating of 99.98%. The facility is modular in design and construction, complete with both primary and redundant critical components and distribution paths for power and cooling services to IT equipment.

The building will house 3000m² of technical equipment. All major systems and pathways are concurrently maintainable, therefore critical UPS, diesel generator and air conditioning support will still be available to IT equipment while maintenance is carried out on other pathways and critical components.

ADC’s technical design is raised floor with central services. The design also allows for high density racks and pods. The design can accommodate up to 12 kw per rack on

its raised floor model, or up to 20kw per rack if required incorporating some further cooling technology.

ADC plans to use free air cooling for 8-9 months of the year.

ADC offers the following options

Private Data Suites
Secure Caged Areas
Full managed rack space for smaller requirements
