Sustainable Datacenters
To obtain a sustainable data center we have to address all aspects of the energy consumption. The main topics are renewable hydro power, effective free cooling and reusing waste heat.
The electricity sector in Norway relies predominantly on hydroelectricity. A significant share of the total electrical production is consumed by national industry.
Our geographical location ensures a stabile cold climate witch allow cooling mostly based on free air cooling. If needed, cold water is guaranteed available for additional cooling.
Storespeed datacenters are set in urban environments. One of these datacenters is part of the largest city developments in Fredrikstad, Norway. Natural reuse of waste heat to nearby homes, offices, schools, arenas and public buildings is key for this development.

Distributing energy by fiber
By converting the electrical energy into information carried by light, the energy is used optimal and the power loss by distribution is minimal. To put the energy consumption as close as possible to the source is a key element in optimal energy consumption.

Secure location example
A natural cave in the mountain lasts for a long time. In fact, mountain caves hold some of the oldest information on Earth created by man. The StoreSpeed facility was originally built to be a bomb shelter right after World War 2. Since then the “building” is like a natural cave not in need of any additional walls or ceiling.
Our experience with mountain built data centers are attractive due to a very stable and low temperature all year around. Today, the concept of storing information in its digital form and in a secure location, like in a mountain facility, requires the right technology.
