Our new UPS got powered up yesterday. The power portion of this expansion is rolling along nicely.

I put up a lot of pics from the expansion project into an album over on our FB page. Feel free to have a peek to see all the shots in one place.
Check it out.

In other news, we've redesigned the website of our parent brand Total Server Solutions. Please feel free to check it out and let fly any feedback you've got

Will you have Internap FCP at your new D/C as well?
Kevin,
Yes, it will still be FCP Optimized, this is not a new facility but rather an expansion of our existing 34 Peachtree location.

The facebook has a good amount of pictures if you all like looking at datacenter eye candy!

Earlier in the week we had some engineers on site to do some HVAC studies to check that our plans for cold aisle containment were sound and that our equipment can easily handle everything. The test went perfectly.
Getting our cold aisle containment in place will boost efficiency and have the added bonus of making the place look like something out of a James Bond movie

Looks cool to me.

We got our CRVs & PDD units switched on. In other news, the bulk of the construction materials for our cold aisle containment installation arrived today. That will be getting built this week... We'll have some more pics as we go...

Sweet! I'm really looking forward to seeing the Cold Aisle Containment when fully setup. It seems like it will look pretty cool, and if it's functional that's even better!

It should indeed look pretty slick. It will be very functional, that's the only reason we're doing it. Aesthetics, while important, take a back seat to function.

Speaking of containment... Assembly has begun. FYI, the opaque part of the sliding door is just a protective film over the lexan/polycarbonate windows.

The containment project is moving along rather nicely. These doors (as well as some additional baffles and other hardware) will block off the cold aisles from the hot exhaust air at the back of each rack. This will substantially increase cooling system efficiency.

Here are a few more shots of the inside of our Atlanta data center.
This is some of the cooling piping that feeds one of our Liebert CRV in-row cooling devices. These things provide a massing cooling boost to our existing setup.
This is a stack of roof pieces of our cold aisle containment system awaiting installation. The plastic not only keeps hot air out and cold air in, it is pretty unique stuff in its own right. In the rare event of a cooling failure, or worse, a fire, the clear plastic portion of the roof shrinks and falls out of its frame to allow hot air to escape or to allow our fire suppression system to properly extinguish any fire. It's pretty cool stuff. I think the temperature at which it shrinks is 157 degrees F. If you're curious I could find out more about it.

Not a lot of updates at the moment. Everything has been running very smoothly, so no news is good news. We're still working on finishing out the cold aisle containment end of things. Like most projects, it's taking a bit longer than anticipated.
In the meantime...

It's been a while since I posted anything here. That said, here's a quick panorama shot I snapped today in our facility.
