THE MOST IMPORTANT
DATA CENTER
IN LATIN AMERICA
» OBJECTIVES
The Latin American Data Center market has developed
significantly over the past two years. Although this market
started to take off in 2008, the large projects in Latin
America did not get underway until 2011, when Telconet
built a large Data Center with capacity to ensure an
interconnection within Ecuador, from Quito and Guayaquil
to the outside world through the NAP of the Americas. The
center has high connection speeds and offers coverage
to multiple national and international telecommunications
operators.
HIMOINSA’s mission in this key project was
to supply the emergency power system
to provide Ecuador with safe and reliable
specialised data centers where companies
can house their servers.
» PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
Given the demand for high-availability sites for companies
to house their servers, Telconet Cloud Center is
considering building two data centers: Telconet Cloud
Center I, in Guayaquil (TIER IV category and capacity for
400 racks) and Telconet Cloud Center II in Quito (TIER III
category and capacity for 360 racks).
The first TIER IV
certified data center
in Latin America.
» THE CHALLENGE
The project stands out for the extremely high security
measures taken to ensure a secure, uninterrupted
power supply. Telconet Cloud Center falls into the TIER
IV category (capacity for 400 racks), implying a margin of
error which is almost zero. It is the first TIER IV classified
data center in Latin America. HIMOINSA has provided a
power system with HMW-810 T6 generation sets under
2N+1 configuration, involving the installation of 24 soundproofed units (12 generator in each center) in a 20 inch
container, with MTU engines for operation in parallel with
load sharing.
The installation of 24 sound-proofed
HMW-810 T6 units enables parallel operation
and ensures high security, uninterrupted
power supply levels to the most important data
center in Latin America.
To provide an optimum emergency power
supply in these facilities, measuring 1000
m2 and 900 m2 respectively, emergency
generator sets have had to be installed.

» BENEFITS
Through this project, HIMOINSA’s generator sets ensure the continuity of
supply, reducing the margin of error to zero in the event of a power failure in the
main grid. The Telconet Data Center offers housing services (shared housing,
hiring of closed cabinet space) and hosting services (virtual servers in a data
center with advanced security, surveillance and fire-protection technology in
place) to any company requiring them. These data centers, which comply with
TIA 942-2 and Uptime Institute regulations, are undoubtedly the largest and
most advanced in Ecuador.

DATA CENTER IN THE
ASIA PACIFIC REGION
HIMOINSA,
THE WORLD OVER
The Data Center market is growing in all corners of the globe (from east to west and north to south). Anywhere where
there is development needs this kind of business. The Chinese company, Zhejiang Huatong, is a subsidiary of Wasu
Media (listed company). Zhejiang Huatong Cloud Data Technology Co., Ltd. is responsible for developing a data center
that will serve as the hub for online radio and television. The data center will be used by suppliers and triple play service
radio and television operators in China. HIMOINSA was the company selected to provide an emergency power supply
service for this project.
» OBJECTIVES
Huatong plans to build data centers in the development areas of
Hangzhou Zhuantang and Jinquiao in Shangai, Beijing, Guanzhou and
Chongquing.
» PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
For this project, in September 2012 HIMOINSA supplied two HTW- 2295
T5 generator sets with a Mitsubishi engine, HIMOINSA alternator and a
CEA7 regulator. This installation that ensures an uninterrupted supply of
energy in the event of grid failure to the Wasu data center in Hangzhou,
in Zhejiang province, one of the most rapidly developing industrial and
technological areas of Zhuantang.
The energy multinational is complementing this project with the
installation of a HTW – 2295 T5 generator set of the same characteristics
as the previous sets and two HTW- 1745 T5 generator sets with a
Mitsubishi engine, HIMOINSA alternator and Deep Sea regulator for
the Watong data center in Jinqiao, one of the main areas of industrial
development in Shanghai.
WHAT DOES HIMOINSA CONTRIBUTE TO DATA CENTER SECTOR?
Marco Perillo.
HIMOINSA’s Sales and Marketing
Director for Asia-Pacific.
HIMOINSA is one of the leading companies in the electricity generation
market. With seven production centers and ten subsidiaries, the
multinational is present in more than 100 countries, offering energy
solutions to all business areas. The company works in the rental market,
industry, mining, airports, construction and telecommunications, supplying
uninterrupted and emergency power. Demand for this type of supply is
increasing mainly in the data center sector.
“Since 2010, Data Center projects have been increasing on an annual
basis, leading us to focus on this line of activity in order to meet the demands of an extremely demanding market,” added Marco Perillo, Sales & Marketing Director Asia Pacific, who clearly believes that clients in this market require “powerful energy, a large production capacity and parallel units,” specficiations that HIMOINSA can guarantee in all its projects.
“Data centers are an attractive option for generator set suppliers and therefore competition is extremely high. In
Eastern markets such as China, marketing is important to strengthen our brand”, stated Mr. Perillo. The multinational has
positioned itself in China as a major player and the country is home to one of its largest production centers.
