Schneider Electric is working with the FKG Group to provide expertise for the development of the company’s new Tier 3, 10 megawatt regional data centre, which will be built in Toowoomba, Queensland.
Pulse Data Centre will be the anchor of a new 29 hectare technology park development which is being built by the FKG Group. The data centre will comprise three separate buildings, each with independent mechanical and electrical infrastructure. Energy efficiency will be a priority of the build, taking advantage of the local climatic conditions with cooling costs minimised through natural airflow and heat dissipation.
Schneider Electric and the FKG Group have entered into a formal Strategic Alliance Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU gives the FKG Group access to the full range of Schneider Electric products, services, partners and expertise.
Construction of the centre is expected to be completed around February 2017, with tenants able to occupy it in April of that same year.
