Data Suites Murfreesboro is a modular colocation facility located 35 miles outside of downtown Nashville. The distance is deliberate. The site is positioned for disaster recovery, and it was unaffected by the downtown Nashville bombing that disrupted most Middle Tennessee data centers.
The building is divided into eight suites that operate autonomously or together, so a tenant can take one suite or the whole floor. Across the suites the facility racks roughly 240 cabinets. Each suite can be leased as colocation down to a single rack unit, as white space, or as conventional office space on a triple-net lease.
Power is distributed at 415V direct to the server, a specification the building was designed around rather than retrofitted for. Cabinets are fed at 225 A and auto-transformed to 415 V, and the standard drop is a 415V / 63 A breaker. Direct 480V and direct 415V feeds are available in four-wire or five-wire configurations, and a whip can be run to a cabinet without a row PDU. Distribution runs on Schneider Electric modular breaker-and-whip hot-swap units, and additional conduit is being run to several modules so that feeds can be paralleled. Density is not capped by the distribution design: a single high-density rack can take an entire module.
Cooling is cold-aisle containment on three-foot aisles, served by in-row coolers at 415 V rated at roughly 40 kW each, with low-ambient kits available for cold-weather operation. Chillers are modular and dock and undock as capacity changes. Direct liquid cooling is supported for tenants that bring chip-cooled hardware, because the in-row manifold hookups accept a liquid distribution manifold on the same connections.
Connectivity was engineered at build rather than added later. The facility reaches Europe over 55 routes and runs diverse routes to Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, and North and South Nashville. Dark fiber is present in the building, seven carriers are on site, and six of them are in the BGP product.
