Internet Solutions to build state of the art green data centre

Convergence Partners’ investee company, Internet Solutions, is making moves towards an enhanced sustainable data centre model, with the development of its new Tier3 facility in Johannesburg, scheduled for completion in Q4 of 2011. This is the first African facility of its kind to be designed and equipped with the world-class KyotoCooling technology solution for efficient and reliable autonomous cooling for data centres.

This improvement results in a 93% saving on cooling costs and 41% saving on power bills. “The KyotoCooling Cells allow Internet Solutions to offer its clients a greener, more cost effective data centre than anything seen before. We anticipate KyotoCooling will reduce the costs required to power a rack for clients by up to 40%, which we will pass directly onto our clients,” said Greg Montjoie, executive for Cloud Services at Internet Solutions.
