Austin, TX

• Up to 9MW of critical capacity
• Supports 480 volt with TVSS
• Two 400 MW capacity substations with dual underground, concrete-encased feeds from electrical substations
• Multiple levels of redundancy available within same footprint (e.g. N, 2N)
• Multiple MGE 8000 625kVA UPS systems; each power leg has a dedicated UPS with battery backup
• 300 kVA dual input PDUs with automatic transfer switches
• Dual input PDUs with static transfer switches
• Scalable 2.25 MW Detroit Diesel dedicated generators pre-wired for additional capacity
• 3,300 belly tank and 12,000-gallon external tank
• Batteries are isolated in a different room from the UPS

• 48-inch raised floor design
• Utilizing Stultz 70-ton CRAH units with electronically commutated (EC) variable-speed fans
• Highly efficient multiple 500-ton Trane chillers with fast restart and adaptive controlled microprocessors
  (ability to scale as density increases)
• Redundant closed loop chilled water cooling design

• Reinforced physical structure, including concrete bollards and steel-lined wall options for security, and bullet-resistant glass
• Video surveillance and recording of the exterior and interior
• On-site security guards 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
• Triple authentication man traps, revolving entrance doors; biometric and key card (color coded) security for rigid
  access control
• Cabinet and cage security options include individual locks and biometric scanners
• Perimeter fence

• CyrusOne Zero Water Consumption Cooling: No water is consumed to cool this facility (such as water towers or evaporative cooling).  Minimal amounts of water are used for humidification and facility maintenance. This facility uses highly efficient chillers, variable frequency drives, and energy-efficient CRAH units to achieve high efficiency air-cooled chilling.  An average US data center of the same size typically consumes over 800 thousand gallons of water per month for cooling.
• Regional Water Stress: The Austin area currently faces low to medium water stress, which is projected to increase to high stress in the future.  Unlike many other data centers, CyrusOne AUS2 facility does not use water for cooling and is therefore insulated from this regional water risk, both current and future.

• Regional Grid Greenhouse Gases: How much greenhouse gas does this facility’s local electrical grid emit while generating electricity?  (Useful for Location-based greenhouse gas reporting)

• The carbon intensity of the grid has improved about 2.3% points per year over the last 14 years of published data. Reported by the US EPA eGRID for the ERCOT subregion (ERCT).
• Regional Grid Renewables: What percentage of this facility’s local electrical grid is from renewable sources (wind, solar, biomass, hydro, and geothermal)?

This has been increasing about 1.2% points per year over the last 14 years of published data.  Based on US EPA eGRID data for the ERCOT subregion (ERCT).
