CMI Data Center Development

CMI Data Center Development

Plaza Construction in partnership with CCA South America has been selected to provide General Contracting Services for China Mobile's CMI Data Center Project (US1DC) located in San Jose, California.

The Data Center will consist of two phases. Phase 1 is to include a 7.5 MW Data Center, Loading Dock and an Office Building for 200 people (70,000 SF). Phase 2 is to include an additional 12.5 MW Data Center. The five-story office building is CMI’s “flag ship” facility in North America. Phase 2 consists of all physical spaces with fit-out and infrastructure for approximately 60% of the data halls or approximately 12.5 MW IT load (facility will be planned for the full end state configuration of 20 MW IT load). Off-site utilities including potable water, sanitary sewer, telecom, fire, water and natural gas will be received at the site boundary for distribution through-out the site.

The total facility will be approximately 287,000 SF with a 9,000 SF substation enclosure. The structure will accommodate 4,000 IT equipment racks with an average loading of 5 kW/rack. Continuous Cooling will be provided to avoid thermal runaway during transitions to/from generator power and Power Utilization Effectiveness (PUE) of less than or equal to 1.23. The building electrical system will provide redundant power to 20MVA of critical IT equipment.  Each low voltage substation powers a multi-module UPS system which supports the IT equipment in both 2N and N+1 distributed redundant configurations.
