Over the Wire - 24 Little Edward

Background:
Over the Wire's Little Edward St data centre is located in the CBD and connected to Over the Wire's Brisbane fibre ring. The facility is configured in two separate suites: BNE1-1 and BNE1-2, both of which are completely non-reliant on the buildings infrastructure, allowing it to run independently of the building in all regards.

Power Generation:
- 320Amps per phase with capacity for upgrades if required
- Dedicated transformer to 24 Little Edward Street
- Average power capacity of 3.6KW per rack, however higher density power requirements can be accommodated
- Power reticulation redundancy is configurable to either n+1 single supply or A+B redundancy

Backup Power Generation
- 280KvA of UPS capacity
- 1 x Diesel Generator with 24 hours of fuel capacity
- 4 hour guarantee for additional fuel delivery

Security:
- Access to the data centre is monitored with CCTV
- The facility is securely located three storeys above street level
- A swipe-in smartcard system is used to log all entries

Cooling:
- To avoid hot-spots often found in below floor air conditioning environments the BNE1-1 Suite uses Triple DX (refrigerant [non-water] based) air conditioning units, sized to handle 20Amps per rack across the entire facility with open-air dispersion
- The BNE1-2 suite utilises an APC Hot Aisle Containment system with Quad APC In-row DC cooling units
- Both suites have air redundancy which is configured in a n+1 format
- Air temperature is set at 22 degrees with a variation of no more than 2 degrees

Fire Dectection
- BNE1-1 utilises a non-aspirating smoke system
- BNE1-2 utilises a VESDA smoke detection system

Connectivity:
- The data centre is connected to Over the Wire’s Brisbane fibre ring and has multiple 10Gbps redundant links coming into the site.
- In addition to Over the Wire's own services Telstra Optus and Pipe Networks are also available. Additional carriers can be brought online at the clients request.
