Carrier delivers digital lifecycle solutions to support the unprecedented growth and criticality of data centres. More than 300 data centre owners and operators with more than one million racks, ranging from enterprise, colocation and the edge, benefit from Carrier's optimisation solutions for their entire portfolio. Carrier is part of Carrier Global Corporation world leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.
"Data centre operators have made great strides over the past 15 years in Power Usage
Effectiveness," said Michel Grabon, Director, Data Centre Solutions, Carrier. "Through continuous
technological advances with higher-power server processors have created energy consumption and cooling challenges that demand the specialised solutions Carrier offers."
Carrier's range of smart and connected solutions provide upstream data from the data centre ecosystem to cool, monitor, maintain, analyse and protect the facility to meet green building standards and sustainability goals and compliance with local greenhouse gas emissions regulations. Carrier's Nlyte DCIM tools share detailed information between the HVAC equipment, power systems and servers/workloads used within data centres, for unparalleled transparency and control of the infrastructure and thus improved uptime.
Carrier's purpose-built solutions are integrated into the company's entire solution portfolio of efficient and high-performance HVAC equipment, Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) tools and building management system, to help data centre operators consume less power and improve operating costs and profitability over a period of many years.
Notable projects worldwide include:
- OneAsia's data centre in Nantong Industrial Park. Carrier worked with the company to build the first data centre in China equipped with a water-cooled cooling system. By optimising the energy efficiency of the entire cooling system, the high-efficiency cooling system can reduce annual electricity bills by about $180,000 (RMB 1.27 million).
- China's Zhejiang Cloud Computing Centre is an example of how Carrier's AquaEdge® centrifugal chillers with integrated controls deliver the required stability, reliability and efficiency for 200,000 servers. The integrated controls reduce operational costs and allow facility managers to remotely monitor performance and manage preventive maintenance to keep chillers running in line with operational needs.
- Iron Mountain's growing underground data centre, housed in a former lime mine in the US state of Pennsylvania, has earned the highest rating in the industry for using Carrier's retrofit solution for ambient heat and humidity control. AquaEdge variable-speed chillers respond with efficient cooling to allow HVAC units to operate under partial or full load.
Nlyte's asset lifecycle management and capacity planning software delivers automation and
efficiency for asset lifecycle management, capacity planning, auditing and compliance monitoring. The software simplifies space and energy planning and easily interfaces with an IT service management system and all types of BI applications, including Carrier's Abound™ digital cloud platform and BluEdge® service platform to track and predict HVAC equipment health, enabling continuous operations.
