Low carbon

In-house data centres tend to be small. Being small means that power cost per rack and carbon emissions per rack tend to be high. When a data centre is in-house, it is a small part of an organisation and there is often little focus on its carbon footprint. It may not be allocated funds to install new energy-efficient plant.

A colocation data centre has economies of scale. It continuously replaces old equipment with new. A key part of its business is driving down its power costs and its carbon emissions. A colocation data centre has the scale and buying power to purchase all its electrical power from renewable resources - making it 100% green in operation.

Carbon footprint reduction through colocation

Placing your equipment in a dedicated hosting environment in a colocation data centre gains power efficiencies and reduces energy consumption. A well-run commercial data centre will be environmentally responsible and purchase its energy supplies from 100% green renewable resources. You reduce the carbon footprint of your technical operations because you benefit from the economies of scale that only an efficient, focused, multi-client colocation operation delivers.
