FloriDa
data center
WienIT is the IT service provider for Vienna’s public utilities and all associated
enterprises, such as Wien Energie and Wiener Linien. And the demand for IT
solutions on the part of WienIT’s customers is booming – in part because infra-
structure solutions are becoming more and more intelligent. In , WienIT
completed its new Floridsdorfer Datacenter – FloriDa for short – and Siemens
delivered the facility’s systems and solutions for building management and power
distri bution. In the future, FloriDa will be operated with the help of a data center
infrastructure management (DCIM) software solution. Linking facility manage-
ment with IT control, our innovative software integrates information from indi-
vidual data center areas that until now have often been operated separately.
Here, too, the results are impressive: the installation of a cold aisle containment
system can increase the data center’s cooling efficiency by as much as %, thus
enabling it to achieve an efficiency level unmatched by other same-size facilities.
The Vienna
metro system about %
about %
The Viennese love their metro system. And thanks to state-of-
the-art Siemens technology, the system’s trains are very energy-
efficient and environmentally friendly. For example, when they
brake, traction power is recovered and fed back into the metro’s
power supply, cutting power consumption by %-% compared
to that of conventional metro systems – thus helping Vienna
conserve precious natural resources. We provide the bulk of the
metro’s power supply equipment.
