The Data Centre housing Ingenuity's equipment is
located in the Brisbane CBD, Queensland Australia. This data centre
has been constructed to the highest possible environmental standards
and in accordance with industry best practice. It has the best supply
of electricity in Brisbane and has less then 1 minor power outage every
2 years.
Power:
The Data Centre is supplied by 3 Phase 410Amp per phase building rising
main. The building has three separate independent 1Megawatt generators
located on the 17th and 18th floors of the building, capable of supplying
more then enough power for the entire building. The generators are directly
connected into the essential services supply and are capable of switching
over in the instant there is a power failure. In the event of a power
outage, the UPS will carry the load until the building generators are
automatically started and start supplying power.
Environmental System:
The Data Centre has 2 separate independent 90Kilowatt Leibert under
floor Air Conditioners. Each Air unit is capable of supplying the room
by itself. The Data Centre has over 100 Pairs of Multimode fibre running
up and down the building. The fibre run is designed to link to every
Telco in Brisbane. The Data Centre is fitted with a Fire suppression
system more than capable of controlling any situations that may arise.
This is monitored by the building security, the Ingenuity
staff and the local authorities. The system is not easily fooled, and
will only activate once the temperature is 90 Degrees Celsius.
Security:
The Data Centre has multiple security cameras fitted inside and outside
of the centre that records all movement with in the confined area.
Redundancy:
Redundant servers are located in Melbourne and interlinked network conections
exist in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth to ensure the continual
flow of data. Weekly off-site web server backups are performed for emergency
data retrieval if all other systems fail.
