Compare configuration options. The classes and levels are selectable configuration options: availability 1–4, protection classes 1–4 and measurement granularity 1–3. The chosen availability class requires consistent power, cooling and cabling design; protection classes are assigned to the relevant security zones. Selection is based on the risk assessment and agreed scope of supply. An availability class does not specify a fixed uptime percentage.
Check marks indicate available services and functions that can be integrated. Certification support covers planning and evidence preparation; certification is awarded by the competent independent body. Emissions measurement and accounting provide assessment data, not a blanket promise of CO₂ savings.
Product codes: BDC + model + number of racks.rack units. Example BDCA1.47: Blue DC A with one rack and 47 U. The listed series use 47 U per rack; 24 racks provide 1,128 U and 124 racks 5,828 U.
¹ Blue DC A: 1–6 racks with 30–120 kW of IT power per rack. The sizing example 6 × 120 kW × 1.25 gives a total supply requirement of 900 kW. The factor 1.25 is a sizing assumption, not a measured PUE value. Cooling, grid connection, reserves and redundancy require technical verification before implementation. Sizing and cooling design →
² PUE values are design targets. Actual performance depends on factors including utilisation, climate, cooling technology and measurement boundaries, and is determined during operation. The stated power and rack ranges do not guarantee that every maximum can be achieved simultaneously in a single configuration.
