- As EcoDataCenter’s chosen partner for the project, our EcoStruxure for Cloud and Service Providers solution was ideal for working effectively with third-party solutions.
- Connected Services Hub, a dedicated team of our data center experts, remotely monitors, troubleshoots, and analyzes EcoDataCenter’s critical facility 24/7.
- Two Uniflair™ Turbocor Chillers add to facility climate control, supplementing the usually low Nordic temperatures, especially during summer's humidity.
The Results
- EcoDataCenter now has connected sensors and meter data generating analytic reports on the data center’s operational efficiency — and its sustainability index.
- Within EcoStruxure architecture, four Galaxy VX UPSs at 1250kW each, support customer load with the possibility to run at 99% efficiency with ECOnversion mode. This backup power frees up energy that can be diverted to clients.
- EcoStruxure proves to be crucial in helping recycle the facility's heat waste. Now, EcoDataCenter uses that efficiency to give back to the local grid, keeping the company focused on being one of the most sustainable data centers in the Nordics.
