Sustainability
In our data center, we rely on sustainability and renewable energies to ensure CO2-neutral operation. With state-of-the-art technology and innovative solutions, we already exceed the requirements of the German Energy Efficiency Improvement Act (EnEfG).
We achieve this through
Responsibility
- We continuously evaluate the energy and water consumption of our data center and the associated infrastructure to ensure that it is operated as efficiently as possible.
- When replacing equipment, we ensure that efficiency is a key factor in our decisions.
Adiabatic cooling
- Adiabatic cooling is the process of reducing heat by changing the air pressure due to volume expansion. In data centers and other facilities, adiabatic processes have enabled the development of free cooling methods that use freely available natural phenomena to regulate temperature.
- The principle of adiabatic cooling has been used to develop cooling units that can save industry, especially data centers, millions of liters of water every year.
Renewable energy
- All energy used is certified as coming from renewable sources.
- Renewable resources can include sunlight, wind, the movement of water and geothermal heat.
