Vertiv and Green Mountain raise the bar for data centre sustainability
Vertiv , a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions , and Norwegian colocation provider , Green Mountain , have have deployed cutting-edge technologies to further increase efficiency and sustainability at what was already among the greenest data centres in the world .
Based in a former NATO facility carved deep in a mountain , the DC1-Stavanger data centre runs on 100 % renewable hydropower and is cooled with water from the fjord , which provides a continuous temperature of 8 ° C all year round . The unique location offers a great advantage in leveraging renewable energy sources and minimising cooling equipment for close-to-zero CO 2 operations . However , like all data centres , it requires uninterruptible power supplies ( UPS ) and thermal management systems to maintain optimal uptime .
“ Sustainability affects everything we do and sustainability is very important whenever we build new colocation centres and have new features in it ,” said Alexander de Flon Rønning , Green Mountain ’ s Design and Product Manager . “ All customers can see where we get our energy from . It ’ s a key differentiator for us .”
Giordano Albertazzi , President for Europe , Middle East and Africa at Vertiv , said : “ The Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact , signed by major European cloud and data centre operators , represents the latest commitment from the data centre industry to reduce its environmental footprint . An effective transition to a sustainable and digital future will require both the deployment of new , state-of-the-art data centre facilities and the upgrade of existing sites to harness the latest and most efficient technologies . Vertiv is proud to support this effort .”
