of the Letsia HyperDC project will feature a built-up area of 56,000 square feet (5,200 square meters) on a site spanning 86,000 square feet (8,000 square meters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">The facility will accommodate between 100 and 150 IT racks and is designed to achieve a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) rating of 1.4, improving energy efficiency across its operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Green Data Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">Letsia said Letsia HyperDC
