There have been recent reports of data centres struggling to meet the capacity requirements of AI companies [1] [2] – Binero would like to respond to this as we have not seen any signs of this problem in our data centre. Our modern data centre is well equipped to meet both current and future cooling and power supply requirements.
Binero's data centre, Binero STO1, has been built up from the ground to meet all the challenges faced by data centres, from security to capacity. All systems – network, power and cooling – are also built with double redundancy. Below, Emil Waldersten, CTO, explains how our data centre is designed to handle even the heaviest loads.
Capacity issues? Not with us – How we meet the demands of AI workloads
At Binero, we have designed our data centre, Binero STO1, to meet and exceed the highest demands for capacity and efficiency. Previous GPU-heavy technology trends have already tested our infrastructure, and now that AI technology is growing, we see a similar need for robust solutions. Our data centre has been built from the ground to handle these shifting technological demands, and we are far from reaching capacity.
As standard, we guarantee our customers access to both power and cooling capacity up to 44 kW per rack. The power supply, cooling and network systems are all redundant according to level A+B, which means that we have two separate systems that are both capable of operating the entire data centre on their own.
Our power supply comes from two separate regional grids, which ensures continuous operation through significant redundancy in the system. A third grid is available, but the need for it has not yet arisen. Transformation from high to low voltage is done locally on the property, enabling incredible power resources. Our cooling systems are designed to handle the extensive heat loads generated by intensive loads, such as training AI models. Of course, it's also nice to know that all heat is recycled through the local district heating network!
Our infrastructure is not only built to meet today's needs – it is built to be a reliable partner for tomorrow's challenges.
