Case Study: Redland City Council achieves 30% energy savings and reclaims 150 m² of space with Vertiv modular data centre

Redland City Council - Customer Case Study

Redland City Council, a coastal “city of islands” serving about 150,000 residents, faced two aging, inefficient data centres that were costly to cool and nearing end-of-life. Concerned about limited high-speed telecoms (making cloud risky) and needing to free office space, the Council chose Vertiv for a complete modular data centre solution, including Liebert® CRV precision cooling, Liebert® APM UPS, Liebert® MPH2 PDUs, S-Series racks and a generator.

Vertiv delivered a 42 m2 self-contained modular facility (assembled on-site) with a 10-rack capacity (initially using six racks with redundant in-row CRV units and UPS backup), delivered in four months. The Vertiv solution raised equipment density from ~30% to ~85%, reclaimed 150 m2 of floor space, and is expected to cut electricity costs by ~30% and CO2 emissions by ~70%, while improving resilience for disaster response and future digital expansion.
