Green IT Cube
- Innovative and energy-efficient: The "Green IT Cube" in the form of a cube measuring 27×30×22 m with six floors and an adjacent technical building including cooling towers.
- In the first version, the Green IT Cube has a cooling capacity of 4 megawatts, which will rise to 12 megawatts in the final expansion phase. The water cooling used in the rear doors of the server cabinets is highly efficient and requires less than 7% of the electrical power of the IT equipment.
- It houses a mirror (RZ-1 and Green IT Cube) of the important basic IT services, as well as the servers, computing nodes and storage units for the experiment data.
- A time-lapse video about the construction of the Green IT Cube can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j93R0kORA9c
