The work on our new Datacenter (iWEB-CL) goes very well. The first phase of installation of the electrical panels follows its court. Once finished, these panels will be able to support a load of 600V/600A which will be used to feed the first colocation cabinets and dedicated servers racks.

In preparation for the installation of the suspended ceiling, the modification of the sprinkler system also began. It will be equipped with the preaction system which will be use to avoid the accidental water discharge.

The first cable racks were also received in preparation for their installation in the next weeks. They will be used to support the kilometers of cable that will feed the Datacenter.
