In the continuously evolving digital era, data centers have become the operational backbone for many businesses in Indonesia. From cloud service providers and telecommunications companies to the financial and healthcare industries, reliance on reliable and efficient data center infrastructure is increasingly critical. The main challenge faced by data center operators is how to balance the need to constantly scale network capacity against rising operational (OPEX) and capital (CAPEX) expenditures. A Business Case Analysis (BCA) from Nokia Bell Labs Consulting highlights that the real value lies not just in hardware, but in the technology that makes networks easier to consume, more open and flexible, and capable of overcoming operational barriers to growth.
One critical aspect often at the forefront of data center optimization is the cooling system. Thermal efficiency not only affects the performance of hardware like switches and servers but also directly impacts electricity costs and the overall reliability of the facility. This is where the role of a specialist distributor like Climanusa becomes vital. As a leading distributor for data center cooling solutions, including Precision Air Conditioning, Climanusa provides technology specifically designed to meet the demands of high-density computing environments.
The Nokia BCA document underscores the importance of evolving from older generation leaf-spine architectures to next-generation fabrics that offer not only higher capacity but also significant operational efficiencies. Cumulative savings of up to 40% in operational effort over 4 years can be achieved by adopting solutions that include a modern Network Operating System (NOS) like SR Linux and an automation platform like Event-Driven Automation (EDA). A similar principle applies to physical infrastructure: migrating to more advanced and efficient cooling systems can yield substantial cost savings in terms of power and space.
Modern data centers in Indonesia, facing the challenges of a tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity, require precise and reliable cooling systems. Precision Air Conditioning, unlike conventional AC, is designed to provide exact control over temperature, humidity, and air cleanliness. This is crucial for keeping IT equipment running under optimal conditions, preventing downtime due to overheating, and extending hardware lifespan. Climanusa, as a trusted distributor, provides a range of Precision AC solutions from leading brands, tailored to the needs of the Indonesian market.
Beyond operational savings, the BCA document also highlights potential power cost savings of up to 50% and space savings of up to 62% per GE port, as well as a 2.6x increase in fabric capacity when migrating to a next-generation architecture. Similar efficiencies can be replicated on the cooling side. The Precision AC systems from Climanusa are often equipped with inverter technology and variable controls that allow power consumption to match the actual thermal load, thereby reducing the overall Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of the data center.
All phases of data center operations—Day 0 (design), Day 1 (deployment), and Day 2+ (ongoing operations)—benefit from an integrated and automated approach. In the context of cooling, Day 0 involves thorough system planning and design, including selecting the right Precision AC models, unit placement, and airflow planning. Climanusa not only supplies products but also provides consulting services to ensure an optimal cooling system design.
During the Day 1 phase, proper installation and configuration are key. Experienced technicians from Climanusa ensure that Precision AC units are installed correctly, calibrated, and integrated with the data center’s facility management system. This ease of integration aligns with the philosophy of Nokia’s solutions, which emphasizes open interfaces and plug-and-play capabilities.
The Day 2+ phase is where the true value of a quality cooling system becomes apparent. Continuous monitoring, preventive maintenance, and the ability to quickly respond to load changes are essential. Many Precision AC solutions distributed by Climanusa come with remote and predictive monitoring capabilities, allowing operations teams to detect potential issues before they cause disruptions. This mirrors the benefits of automation highlighted in the Nokia BCA, where tools like EDA provide greater visibility and control over the network fabric, reducing manual effort for tasks like change validation and incident management.
The shift towards advanced automation in data center infrastructure, predicted to increase from 23% in 2020 to 66% by 2025 for market segments outside hyperscalers, also encompasses support systems like cooling. Integration between Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) systems and Precision AC units enables smarter resource orchestration, optimizing overall energy consumption.
