HostDime’s Next-Gen, Tier IV Data Centers Support AI Workloads With Up to 100kW Per Rack

HostDime‘s Tier IV Data Centers, including their new flagship facility in Orlando, are setting industry design standards that will power the new era of infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) technologies, and other high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. These next-gen data centers boast an astonishing power density of up to 100kW per rack, a significant leap from the traditional 3kW to 20kW in legacy data centers.

AI has transcended its status as a buzzword and has quickly become a transformative force across industries. For AI to achieve its potential, it requires massive computational power. Complex neural networks and deep learning algorithms require specialized high-performance hardware, including CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs, optimized for parallel processing, complex modeling, and accelerated training. Suddenly the industry as a whole is rethinking how data centers are designed. A new generation of purpose-built data centers is the only way to power this new wave of hardware infrastructure.

Addressing this need head-on, ahead of the market, is HostDime’s hyper-edge, Tier IV data center design, which is being deployed at the global edge with immediate deployments in Latin America (most recently in Colombia) and at their flagship facility in Florida. HostDime’s leap to up to 100kW signifies a remarkable advancement that directly addresses the energy demands of AI/ML/HPC workloads. This state-of-the-art Orlando data center brings to market much-needed high-power-density inventory while reducing dependency on data center infrastructures in traditional major metro markets that are struggling to keep up with demand. This infrastructure demand is also being seen at the global edge where HostDime will continue to deploy its next-gen, Tier IV design.

HostDime’s modular design incorporates a high watt-per-square-foot density along with supplemental in-row cooling capabilities that work in parallel with direct-to-chip cooling technologies. The design also incorporates precise cooling-efficient cold aisle containment at every data hall. HostDime’s flagship Orlando data center also has designated data halls created specifically for immersive cooling hardware. Immersive cooling is widely becoming a necessity in the new wave of data center build-outs. All these features are at the forefront of HostDime’s data center design.

HostDime’s Colombia Data Center First in Latin America to Achieve EDGE Green Certificate

HostDime, a hyper-edge global data center company, is proud to announce its new Tier IV Colombia Data Center has received the EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certificate, which is awarded to buildings that demonstrate resource efficiency of at least 20 percent in energy, water, and embodied energy in materials.

EDGE is a green building standard and a global certification system developed by the World Bank’s International Finance Corporation that certifies the design and resource efficiency of green buildings. EDGE is a measurable way for builders to optimize their designs to help create a sustainable future and provide better investment rates for HostDime and their clients.

HostDime’s Colombia “Nebula” Tier IV Data Center is the first data center in Latin America to meet these EDGE certification standards.

“We are very proud of obtaining the first EDGE Green Certificate in Latin America. Incorporating all these environmental features in our New Colombia Tier IV ‘Nebula’ Data Center allows us to operate one of the most sustainable data centers in the world. Our commitment is aligned with the broader data center industry’s ESG efforts. As we continue to build out our next-gen purpose built Tier IV Data Centers throughout Latin America, we will continue to adapt such sustainable features while also taking advantage of renewable energy sources,” says Edwin Tello, VP of HostDime Latin America.

Data centers account for an estimated 1% of worldwide electricity use, so the industry must be conscious of its responsibilities. ESG (environmental, social, and governance) considerations are crucial when designing, constructing, and operating purpose-built data centers. Taking ESG issues seriously maximizes operational efficiencies and reduces overall risks.

Power consumption can be used to measure data center efficiency. PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) is the measurement of how efficiently a data center uses energy. The lower the PUE, the better. While HostDime achieves at or under 1.3 PUE in their constructed data centers, most providers have a PUE in the 1.6 or higher range. Bringing PUE down across the data center industry is an obtainable and worthwhile objective. HostDime’s purposeful use of power-efficient electrical components, modular POD footprints, hot aisle containment, highest efficiency chillers, and renewable energy use all correspond to a large reduction in annualized PUE.

HostDime continues to carry out additional actions to improve energy efficiency in its purpose-built facilities in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and the USA.

Last year, HostDime invested $1.2 million in the construction of a solar power plant to support the entire power infrastructure of their Joao Pessoa, Brazil, data center, as well as a planned 30% expansion.

This year, HostDime will open their flagship data center and headquarters in Orlando, Florida. The rooftop of this facility will feature high-density solar panels; up to 1MW of the facility’s 5MW will be powered by the sun. Taking advantage of the Florida sun will reduce operating costs, lock-in energy costs, and decrease their carbon footprint.

“We are constantly evolving our data center designs and best practices to create energy efficiencies so that we can build and operate facilities that positively impact future generations.” – David Vivar, HostDime’s VP of Global Engineering.

HostDime’s green initiatives solidifies to their staff, customers, and the marketplace that ESG principles are held to the highest importance. Designing and building an environmentally friendly green data center should be a pattern followed by every new data center worldwide. On this Earth Day, we must take a stand and take care of our resources that are not infinite; together, we can do it.
