Complete Data Center Infrastructure

A data center is only as reliable as its weakest subsystem. Cooling failure, power quality issues, inadequate monitoring or gaps in physical security can each independently trigger downtime. Boreas Technology eliminates these single points of risk by delivering all critical data centre infrastructure domains from a single, integrated source.

Boreas Technology brings together the precision cooling expertise of its own manufacturing capabilities with the monitoring, power distribution and software intelligence of the Exagate product portfolio — creating a cohesive end-to-end ecosystem where every component is engineered to work with every other.

Data Center Solutions

1. Precision Cooling

Precision cooling is the foundation of data centre reliability. Unlike comfort HVAC systems, data centre precision cooling maintains temperature and humidity within tight tolerances — typically 18–27°C, 40–60% RH as per ASHRAE A1 class — regardless of varying IT load conditions, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Boreas Technology manufactures its own precision cooling systems at the 35,000 sqm production base in Tekirdağ-Çerkezköy, covering every cooling topology from perimeter room units to high-density in-row, liquid cooling and indirect free cooling.

1.1 Fanwall Unit (BFA)

The Fanwall replaces traditional belt-driven CRAC/CRAH centrifugal fans with an array of individually controllable EC (electronically commutated) plug fans. By distributing airflow across multiple smaller fan units rather than relying on a single large blower, the Fanwall delivers superior redundancy, lower noise, reduced power consumption and improved airflow uniformity across the raised floor.

How It Works: Each EC plug fan operates independently and communicates with the central controller. When the IT load increases, fan speeds ramp up proportionally; at partial load, fans slow down or individual units switch off — matching airflow precisely to demand and maximising efficiency at all load points.

  • EC plug fans — high efficiency, variable speed, low noise
  • Independent fan control — redundancy and partial-load efficiency
  • Raised floor compatibility

When to Choose: Ideal for data centres seeking to upgrade legacy cooling infrastructure without full system replacement, or as the air distribution component in new builds targeting low PUE.

1.2 Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU)

As rack power densities climb — driven by AI accelerators, GPUs and high-performance computing workloads — traditional air cooling approaches its physical limits. Modern GPU servers can generate 10 kW or more per server, and rack-level densities of 40–100 kW are increasingly common.

What a CDU Does: A CDU acts as the bridge between the facility cooling infrastructure and the IT-level liquid cooling loops that interface directly with servers. It manages circulation, temperature regulation and pressure control of the coolant delivered to IT equipment. Critically, the CDU keeps the two fluid circuits separate.

  • Integrated filtration — 50 micron or finer filters
  • Leak detection — continuous monitoring with alarm
  • Variable speed pumps — match flow to demand
  • Remote monitoring via SNMP/Modbus

When to Choose: CDU-based liquid cooling is appropriate for any rack deployment exceeding 20–25 kW per rack, AI and HPC server environments with high GPU densities, and high-density retrofits.

1.3 Indirect Evaporative Cooling (IEC)

Indirect Evaporative Cooling (IEC) is an air-side economisation technology that uses the evaporation of water to cool outdoor air, which then cools the data centre without the evaporated water entering the IT space. Because no mechanical refrigeration compressor is required during free cooling operation, IEC can achieve PUE values of 1.05–1.3 in suitable climates.

How It Works: Outdoor air passes through a wet media section where water evaporates, reducing air temperature. This cooled outdoor air passes across a heat exchanger, cooling the data centre return air on the other side. The two air streams never mix — the data centre air is cooled indirectly, without introducing outdoor humidity or contaminants.

  • PUE as low as 1.05–1.2 in temperate and semi-arid climates
  • Water usage significantly lower than direct evaporative approaches
  • No refrigerant — eliminates GWP impact
  • Multiple operating modes — selected automatically based on outdoor conditions

Climate Suitability: In Turkey, most inland and coastal locations offer 3,000–5,000 hours per year of viable free cooling operation, delivering substantial energy and cost savings.

1.4 Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC)

A Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC) uses a direct expansion (DX) refrigeration cycle — compressor, condenser, expansion valve, evaporator — to cool and dehumidify recirculated air. The CRAC unit is self-contained: cooling is generated entirely within the unit without requiring an external chilled water plant.

DX Cooling Options: Air-cooled DX, water/glycol-cooled DX, and free cooling integration with economiser coil.

  • Cooling capacity: 20–250 kW per unit (up to 730 kW with multiple stages)
  • DX / chilled water / dual-circuit configurations
  • Upflow and downflow air patterns — raised floor and slab floor
  • EC fans — high efficiency, variable speed, low noise
  • Multi-stage compressors with precise capacity modulation
  • Free cooling coil — reduces compressor energy by up to 60% in cold weather

1.5 Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH)

A Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH) is a chilled water unit: it contains no compressor or refrigerant circuit. Instead, it circulates room air across a chilled water coil supplied by a central chiller plant. This centralised approach enables economies of scale, integration of free cooling chillers, and cooling capacities in the MW range.

  • Cooling capacity: 20 kW–1,080 kW+ per unit (scalable via chiller plant)
  • Chilled water supply typically 7–12°C
  • EC plug fans — variable speed, high efficiency, low maintenance
  • Upflow and downflow air patterns; raised-floor and slab-floor configurations
  • Economiser/free cooling coil
  • MERV 8–14 filter options
  Product Details

1.6 Inrow Cooler (DCI Inrow)

The DCI Inrow cooler is installed directly within the server rack row. By placing the cooling unit at the source of heat, Inrow cooling eliminates the long airflow paths of traditional room-based systems and delivers cool air precisely where it is needed, at the rack intake face.

  • Capacity: 10–60 kW per unit; scales with row length and density
  • Air-cooled DX, water/glycol-cooled DX, or chilled water variants
  • 300 mm and 600 mm width options
  • Horizontal airflow — precisely directed into the cold aisle
  • Hot/cold aisle containment compatible
  • No raised floor required

When to Choose: Inrow is the solution of choice for high-density environments (rack loads of 10 kW+), heterogeneous rack densities, and co-location environments where per-cabinet cooling accountability is important.

1.7 Rear Door Heat Exchanger (RDHx)

A Rear Door Heat Exchanger (RDHx) is a passive or active cooling solution mounted in place of the standard rear door of a standard 19″ server rack. Hot exhaust air exiting the rear of IT equipment passes directly through a coil carrying chilled water or coolant — the heat is absorbed before the air re-enters the data hall.

How It Works: Server fans push hot air rearward through the IT equipment. The RDHx coil intercepts this airflow before it leaves the rack. Heat transfers to the coolant loop; cooled air exits into the cold aisle or data hall at or near room temperature. No additional fans or blowers are required for passive variants.

  • Cooling capacity: typically 5–30 kW per rack unit
  • Passive variant — no moving parts within the door itself
  • Active variant — supplementary fans for higher heat loads
  • Chilled water supply: typically 14–18°C
  • Condensation prevention — supply water maintained above dew point
  • Compatible with existing rack infrastructure

2. Critical Power

Data centre power infrastructure is responsible for controlling and protecting the complete power chain from the facility's primary electrical source to individual rack PDUs. Boreas delivers the essential building blocks of power operations at every level through modular UPS systems combined with intelligent PDUs.

2.1 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

A power outage in a data centre is not merely a technical failure — it carries serious operational, financial and reputational consequences. Even a sub-second interruption can cause server resets, database corruption and SLA violations. The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is the final line of defence between the utility supply and IT equipment, providing seamless protection against the full spectrum of power disturbances.

UPS Technology: Double-Conversion Online: Data centre-grade UPS systems use double-conversion (online) technology. Incoming AC power is first converted to DC (rectifier stage), which simultaneously charges the battery and feeds an inverter. The inverter continuously generates a clean, regulated AC output — the IT load is permanently powered by inverter-generated power and is completely isolated from utility-side disturbances at all times.

  • Complete power outages — battery takes over instantly; zero transfer time
  • Voltage sags and swells — output regulated regardless of input variation
  • Frequency variations — output locked to inverter, independent of utility
  • Harmonic distortion — AC-DC-AC conversion eliminates harmonics
  • Transients and surges — complete electrical isolation from utility-side events

Capacity Range: Small/edge (10–100 kW), Medium/enterprise (100–500 kW), Large/data centre (500 kW–multi-MW).
