NTT Silicon Valley SV1 Data Center

NTT's Silicon Valley SV1 data center sits at 1160 Walsh Avenue in Santa Clara and was the first data center in the city built with a base isolation system, a structural design intended to reduce earthquake damage to the building and the equipment inside. The site offers 16 MW of critical IT load across 64,000 sq ft (5,950 sqm) of data floor space, with NTT specifying N+1 distributed power redundancy for each electrical vault and diverse power distribution to the data hall. Cooling uses a fan-coil wall design with hot-aisle containment and a dedicated chiller plant on a closed-loop water system. Connectivity is carrier-neutral, with three physically diverse fiber entry points and two Carrier Meet-Me-Rooms linking to major cloud providers, content networks and other data centers. NTT markets the location partly on access to Silicon Valley Power, the municipal utility, which it says lowers energy costs and offers renewable power options; the operator does not publish a specific renewable-energy percentage for SV1.
