MONTGOMERY, Texas, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Amidst massive power outages across Houston following Hurricane Beryl, a former nuclear bomb shelter turned data center is ensuring that essential data used by agencies and major corporations responsible for mission-critical and life-saving operations remains intact should their primary systems fail.
德克薩斯州蒙哥馬利,2024年7月17日 /美通社/ - 在颶風伯里爾過後,一間曾經的核彈避難所轉變成的數據中心正在確保供應重要數據的機構和負責使命關鍵和救生行動的主要企業,如果他們的主要系統出現問題,數據將得到保全。
In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, the Montgomery, TX data center known as the Westland "Bunker" is seeing a significant increase in activity as agencies closely monitor their back-up systems in the event their primary facilities are impacted by a sudden power interruption.
在颶風伯里爾過後,位於蒙哥馬利的數據中心,被稱爲Westland“地堡”,隨着機構密切關注備份系統,其活動量顯著增加,以應對其主要設施遭受突然停電的影響。
Perched at the highest point in Montgomery County at 550 Club Drive, just south of Highway 105, the Bunker houses an underground data center roughly two floors below ground. The facility has been in operation for approximately 20 years and can accommodate an additional 45 MW of computing power for potential tenants.
位於 Montgomery County 最高點的 550 Club Drive,緊靠 105 號公路南側,地堡建築物包含地下兩層的數據中心。該設施已經運營了大約 20 年,可以爲潛在租戶提供額外的 45 MW 計算能力。
Moreover, the Westland Bunker is located in the MISO energy grid and is serviced by Entergy. The facility is not on the ERCOT (Texas) energy grid serviced by CenterPoint and therefore is not subject to power interruptions experienced throughout the Houston area following a storm or major freeze.
此外,Westland地堡位於MISO能源網格中,由Entergy提供服務。該設施不在ERCOT(德克薩斯州)的能源網格上,該網格由CenterPoint提供服務,因此不會受到風暴或大規模凍結後休斯敦地區遭受的停電干擾。
The facility is operated by Data Journey, a Houston- based digital infrastructure private equity firm, managed and owned locally.
該設施由一家名爲Data Journey的休斯頓數字基礎設施私募股權公司運作並擁有。
Since it recently acquired the center, the new ownership has received a large volume of inquiries from corporate clients that recognize the benefit for operational redundancy to house their critical business continuity on a separate energy grid.
自從最近收購了這個中心,新所有權已經收到了大量的查詢,來自那些認識到在分開的能源網格上具有操作冗餘性的企業,以容納他們的關鍵業務連續性。
The facility has provided 100% uptime and access during Hurricanes Ike, Harvey and Beryl in addition to 100% uptime during Winter Storm Uri in February 2021. By offering office space with showers and kitchen facilities along with the data center space, companies are able to send critical employees to work in an air conditioned, fully connected space even if the rest of Houston is without power and connectivity.
該設施在颶風艾克,哈維和伯里爾期間提供100%的正常運行時間和訪問,以及在2021年2月的Uri寒潮中提供100%的正常運行時間和訪問。通過提供帶淋浴和廚房設施的辦公空間以及數據中心空間,即使休斯頓其他地區沒有電力和連接,公司也能夠將關鍵員工送到空調環境下的工作區。
"The Bunker and its surrounding facilities have proven its strategic positioning for our present tenants and future tenants that need that data center reliability and redundancy," says Dr. Ishnella Azad, managing partner of Data Journey.
"Westland地堡及其周邊設施已經爲我們現有租戶和未來租戶證明了它的戰略定位,需要數據中心的可靠性和冗餘性,"Data Journey的管理合夥人Dr. Ishnella Azad說。
In addition to a core group of strategic data center clients for which the Bunker provides mission critical services, numerous midstream oil and gas companies also depend on the facility to store and manage large volumes of data and support real-time monitoring and control systems to ensure the safe and efficient operation of pipelines and storage facilities.
除了一群戰略數據中心客戶以外,Bunker還有許多中游的油氣公司,他們依賴該設施存儲和管理大量數據,並支持實時監控和控制系統,以確保管道和儲存設施的安全和高效運營。
