Introduction:
Building a state-of-the-art-High-Performance Computing Data Center in the Ground Floor of the old CSE building in IIT Bombay Campus is another project being funded under IoE Scheme. The data center will have about 5000 sq. ft of floor space for computing infrastructure and is expected to have computing facility of 1.5 petaflop capacity requiring up to 2 MW of power. The work involves renovation of an alloted area in an existing building.
The Data Center will be designed and built confirming to the current global best practices, modular scalable design incorporating energy efficient technologies. The Data Center will have a Server Room area of approximately 3314 square feet including existing HPC Server Room and will have other areas such as Transformer Room, MLT Panel Room, UPS and Electrical Panel Room, Battery Room, BMS Room, IT Manager Room etc.
