Hitachi Energy provides power structure for Türkiye’s most advanced data center

Hitachi Energy provides power structure for Türkiye’s most advanced data center

Summary

A wide range of Hitachi Energy technologies helps ensure reliability and rapid installation of low-voltage equipment for the new Star of Bosphorus facility.

Today, Hitachi Energy celebrated the opening of NGN’s Star of Bosphorus data center in Istanbul, Türkiye, the nation’s first carrier neutral commercial data center to be certified as a Tier III facility by the Uptime Institute. Hitachi Energy furnished the power feeding and distribution structure for the colocation center, which will house wide-ranging IT hardware for multiple customers.

Tier III centers allow for planned maintenance of power and cooling systems to be conducted without interfering with the operation of IT systems within the center. A foundation for this capability is provided by advanced Hitachi Energy low-voltage equipment that can be monitored, maintained and replaced with minimal or no disruption to data operations for the numerous businesses that will rely on the colocation center.

At the heart of the Star of Bosphorus center is Hitachi Energy’s System pro E power main distribution switchboard. This compact, flexible structure can be assembled in different logic sequences with only a few part numbers for 120 enclosure sizes. The system helps ensure error-free assembly and maintenance and rapid click-in equipment installation. For the Star of Bosphorus, Hitachi Energy engineers built a 39-column switchboard to house extensive IT and power equipment.

Customer Highlights

“With System pro E power, NGN gained the most space-efficient solution, which was the most critical challenge,” said Recep Mert, product marketing specialist for Electrification Products, Hitachi Energy Türkiye. “The real estate that was saved can now be used to expand productive IT infrastructure with more servers and networking equipment for the data center’s customers.”

“We chose Hitachi Energy because of its ability to supply leading-edge solutions and unparalleled technical support,” said NGN Cloud and Datacenter Services Presales Manager, Emin Kebeli. “Hitachi Energy provided us with constant access to all of its relevant product specialists, who personally supported the management of the project, product selection and design of the switchboard panels.”

Beyond the main distribution switchboard, Hitachi Energy provided a wide variety of other key technologies that make the Star of Bosphorus the most sophisticated data center in Türkiye. These encompassed an entire complex of low- voltage equipment, including Emax 2, Tmax and Tmax XT circuit breakers, control products, and System Pro E Power and ArTu L enclosures.
