standard practices and tools to ensure they receive a consistent experience that exceeds their expectations .
Vantage prioritises efficiency and environmental responsibility , all while delivering the reliability that is our hallmark . We see this as a natural outgrowth of a partnership that can advance technology while remaining an exemplar of good corporate citizenship . Our baseline approach includes using renewable energy whenever possible , limiting carbon footprints and maintaining energy efficient operations with industry leading PUEs .
We do this in a variety of ways . We work directly with regional utilities regarding their use of renewable energy sources within the mix of uninterrupted power they provide our campuses . In addition , we self-perform our mechanical controls to optimise PUE based on operating conditions and exterior weather data .

ccording to a recent

A study from IDC , ‘ the world will create more than three-times the data over the next five years than it did in the previous five ’. With such a large increase in data creation and consumption at play , Vantage Data Centers understands that the need for digital infrastructure is essential to meet the world ’ s demand .

At Vantage , the customer always comes first . We work tirelessly to evolve our data centre design in innovative ways that can scale as quickly as the market and our customers demand . In doing so , we now have a total of 14 strategically located data centre campuses , either operational or under development , on two continents . As we continue to expand globally , we regularly listen to and partner with our customers to ensure our future locations are where they need them to be to effectively carry out their business needs and objectives .
Our processes and procedures are not simply written into an SLA , but they are practiced with rigour by Vantage personnel at every level of responsibility . Rather than relying solely on outside contractors , we train and certify our critical facility engineers to perform preventive maintenance on a required rigid schedule . Investing in the team ’ s collective skills benefits our customers with high employee retention and customer satisfaction . Our goal is to provide the same level of experience to our customers whether they are doing business with us in Virginia or Germany . We offer them the same level of expertise , transparency , communication ,
Vantage is also committed to an aircooled model . While many conventional data centres consume thousands of gallons of water a day , our air-cooled chillers feature a closed-loop system that doesn ’ t require an ongoing water source .
We relentlessly pursue opportunities to make our data centres as environmentally friendly as possible . From LED lights to EV charging station and recycling , there is no measure that is too small .
