Opportunity
Yotta Infrastructure is all about scalability, quality, innovation and economies of scale ranging from the data center infrastructure, to operational practices, products and services. What makes Yotta different is the goal of addressing the scarcity of high-quality IT infrastructure at a low cost. Besides this, the executive team working towards this has been in the industry for the last 20+ years along with the resources and domain expertise to fulfill the promise that Yotta will be able to deliver better than existing players.
With that in mind, Yotta moved forward working with Uptime Institute on a Tier Certification of Design Documents (TCDD) for the initial pre-construction planning and design certification, which has been awarded. This will be followed by a Tier Certification of Constructed Facility (TCCF) which will be finished in 2020. The TCDD has now been achieved for the planned 7200 racks and 50 MW of total load and 30.4 MW of IT load. The Navi Mumbai Panvel data center is planned to be the largest data center in terms of rack capacity and power offered, almost 50% larger than any existing data center in India.
Solution
Uptime Institute Tier Certifications are end-result oriented and not prescriptive to allow the individual data center providers to strive for innovative designs that can achieve the result. At the same time, Uptime Institute consultants go to a higher level of depths on each aspect to ensure that the design meets the end objective (in this case, fault tolerant building for Tier IV goal). This has been the prime reason that Yotta chose to work with Uptime Institute. Yotta chose data center designs that are unconventional and went through a very detailed evaluation from the Uptime Institute team. Yotta believes the effort has paid off well, with smart design & engineering and custom manufacturing of many elements used in our electrical, cooling, civil and control designs. Yotta has created a Tier IV facility, with an extra capex spent of just 25% compare to a Tier III design, as prevailing in most data centers in India.
Yotta believes that the Uptime Institute Tier IV certifications will go a long way in providing assurances to customers about the quality of our data center infrastructure, in its ability to handle various types of failures and extreme conditions.
