Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center is a 90,000 square foot co-location data center facility that includes 35,000 square feet of dedicated computer space with a "sandbox" testing area. Designed to be sustainable, the facility uses high-efficiency heating and a closed couple high-density data cooling system, as well as sophisticated airlfow management systems inside a structural steel frame and precast and curtain wall exteriors.
The facility's capacity is 10 megawatts of compute load with 20% on backup power. Supporting the system are two exterior medium voltage generators of two megawatts and five megawatts respectively, a high-efficiency uninterruptible power supply system with flywheels - eliminating the need for batteries - more than 170 12-ton row coolers and three 850-ton centrifugal chillers.
