Built in 1999 in São Paulo, Optiglobe was the biggest datacenter in Brazil.
The project involved the retrofit of the administrative building and the construction of a shed to be used as a large factory store data. The challenges were basically technical. Optiglobe was a critical building, in other words, works 24 hours / 7 days per week non-stop. This requires that the project has levels of redundancy so if there is a failure of any kind (like water supply and energy), he is able to continue functioning independently of the problem. It is as if the building itself had a "plan B" and "Plan C" for its supply. Optiglobe (current Tivit) has Tier 3 category-level redundancy, which is the highest.
Although at the time there were no certifications of sustainability, the building was created with concepts aligned with Agenda 21. The project already had low-e windows, low emissivity and minimal reflection outside compensation study with rainwater retention and reuse condensing water, beyond the rational use of work equipment by avoiding waste.
