A large prefabricated data centre for the public administration in Rome

Constructed with a prefabricated modular system consisting of 44 modules assembled on site, it allowed an extremely short time-to-market.

In terms of energy efficiency, the infrastructure reaches a value of ≤ 1.25 at full load, significantly lower than the national average. Sirti Digital Solution was also awarded the operation and maintenance services of the entire infrastructure for a period of five years, ensuring operational continuity, constant technical supervision and proactive management of the installed assets.

It is also supposed to be the largest prefabricated data centre in Italia. According to reports in Il Sole 24 Ore, among the many critical applications of the public administration running from this data centre would be IO, the public services app that sends communications from public bodies to citizens, contains personal documents and many other services.

The structure has been designed according to the highest safety standards, with disaster safe features that guarantee its operation even in extreme conditions. Particular attention has been paid to seismic resilience: the infrastructure is completely earthquake-proof, thanks to the use of advanced isolators developed with the technical-scientific support of the Politecnico di Milano, and is designed to withstand seismic events without compromising operations.

Added to this is the ability to withstand severe weather conditions, with resistance to winds in excess of 200 km/h, and readiness for certification according to the international ANSI/TIA-942-C Rated 4 standard, the highest level of reliability. One of the distinctive elements of the project is the construction approach: the data centre is built with 100 per cent recyclable materials, without the use of traditional concrete.

Prefabricated technology also allows flexibility, scalability and reduced implementation time, configuring a replicable model for highly efficient digital infrastructures.
