Watch Us Build A Data Center in 26 Weeks
 Digital Realty Trust builds data center facilities all over the world. On average it takes us just 26 weeks to complete a data center suite from the beginning of the construction process through to the completion of full level-five commissioning and customer turnover. To help provide you with a better understanding of our data center construction process and all of the activities involved in building a new Digital Realty Trust facility you can watch us as we build out one of our newest sites located at 1201 Comstock in Santa Clara, California. Just click on one of the links below to receive a more detailed overview of the activities being performed in those weeks and why we are doing it.
What is PUE?
 Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is a standard developed by The Green Grid™ consortium to provide a clear answer to the primary issue surrounding energy efficiency within the data center which is how much power is devoted to driving the actual computing/IT components (servers, for example) versus the ancillary support elements such as cooling and lighting. With the rise of computing demands and high density computational environments, the power distribution expressed by either metric is extremely important. The components of the PUE calculation look at the relationship between "Total Facility Power" (TFP) and "IT Equipment Power" (IEP).
