## 7.3.5. Creation of new Data Centres and Office Space (ESB and SNL) 

## 7.3.5.1. Creation of a new Data Centre and Office Space in ESB 

The racks in the SER in Europol Second Satellite Building (ESB) are expected to be similar to the racks as described in the Europol Satellite Building JWF13. 

## 7.3.5.2. Creation of a new Data Centre and Office Space (SNL) 

Europol is looking at building a second site with office space and a data centre. The alternative location can be built anywhere in EU, but for this tender, Europol considers the alternative location to be built in Somewhere in The Netherlands (SNL). 

The description below gives the tenderer a reasonable understanding of the work to be carried out if Europol decides to approve the plans for an alternative location. The tenderer will use it to prepare its Technical offer. 

For this tender, please assume that Europol will build the SNL in an existing building within 100km of Europol Headquarters, The Hague. The SNL consists of the following areas: 

##  SNL Data Centre 

• SNL Data Centre 

• SNL Office space for 50 staff 

SNL Data Centre will be built in a large open space with concrete floor, the height is 3.5 meter. Europol is allocated the required surface in one corner. Europol wants to implement 10 rows of 5 racks starting at the short wall. Via the roof of the rack, one rack (the network rack) will be used to interconnect with the remaining racks using 24 fibre pair and 24 copper pair. In this rack also the telecom provider infrastructure is located being two rack unit patch panel. Space for 5-10 racks is available for external provided racks delivering services to Europol. This space is separated from the Europol racks by a wall/cage wire and has its own entrance independent from the entrance to the Europol racks. 

The SNL Data Centre needs to be secured including door controls and camera controls. Each rack will be equipped with 2 switched and metered PDUs 3 phase 32Amp PDU’s with expected consumption of 7000Watt per rack. The central power distribution switch is available but need to be expanded to each rack. Raised floor and hot or cold aisle needs to be created under this contract and needs to be flexible for expansion. It might be that the raised floor, cooling and automatic fire extinguisher will be provided by the Host State as part of the agreement but it might as well that this needs to be provided under this contract. The floor space for 5-10 racks won’t need hot/cold aisles.
