Located in Manhattan, Digital Realty’s third New York data center is located at 32 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10013.
The Digital Realty NYC3 data center is housed in a 1,150,000 square foot building, with up to 72,000 square feet of leased floor space. The building is located outside the 500 year flood plain, and is certified as seismic level zone 2A. The facility has a multi-layered security structure, including 24 hour a day, seven days a week on site staff as well as continuous video surveillance. On-site staff monitor the power, cooling and network connectivity at all times. In addition to its access to cages and cabinets, clients also have access to roof rights and access to sub-block parking if needed.
In order to maintain data center functionality, Digital Realty also deploys redundant power, cooling and network systems that ensure maximum up-time. The local utility provides up to 1440 total kilowatts of power (1.4 Megawatts) and the UPS systems have a capacity of 1200 kilowatts and are arranged in a N+1 configuration. This set up allows for up to 95 watts of power to be delivered per square foot. On site generators are also configured in an N+1 arrangement, and can deliver up to 4000 kilowatts of power in the event of a utility power failure. Finally, the cooling systems are arranged in an N+1 set up. Digital Realty’s redundant set ups allow them to provide clients with 100% up-time service level agreements.
