Constructed in 1999, this 80,000 dedicated and secure facility serves as the worldwide IT hub for PeopleSoft Corporation. Centrally located amid more than 1,500,000 square feet of headquarters to match. Its 1,600 ton chilled water central plant is perhaps the most robust of its kind on the West Coast, with complete redundancy of equipment, piping, controls, utilities, and routing. The design includes four (4) 400 ton York chillers, four (4) BAC Series 3000 towers, three (3) each chilled and condenser water pumps, and an Energy Labs main house AHU - all of which are variable speed. Fifty-four (54) Liebert chilled water data room units are on the Main Server floor and technical spaces. Redundant utilities include a 44,000 gallon storage tank and 30 GPM onsite well to provide cooling tower make-up water at peak demand for one week without use of public domestic water. The Automated Logic Corporation (ALC) control system provided by ACCO is integrated with a facility - wide Liebert SiteScan 2000 system, which also runs on the ALC platform. Designed specifically with the operating engineer in mind, this facility has served as a "Best in Class" model for similar current generation data centers.
