Green data centers are crucial in todays data demands

As technology continues to rapidly advance, power demands are rising. Sustainable practices are becoming more critical for business strategies. Green data centers are important for their ability to reduce the carbon footprint, lower energy costs, and promote sustainability.

  • Traditional data centers consume a lot of energy, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
  • By using more energy-efficient equipment and cooling systems, our centers consume less energy, which translates into lower energy bills.
  • Our data centers are designed to be more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional data centers.
  • Creating a more sustainable future for everyone. Our green data centers help us reduce our impact on the environment while still meeting the demands of technology needs.

Green Data Center FAQs

Our data centers are powered by 100% renewable hydro-electric energy from the Columbia River. We use natural evaporative cooling and outside air cooling instead of energy-intensive HVAC systems. Our strategic Pacific Northwest location provides ideal climate conditions, and we've achieved a PUE of 1.3, significantly better than the industry average of 2.0+.

Absolutely not. Green data centers refer to how we power and cool our infrastructure, not the performance of the hardware. You'll get the same high-performance computing, low latency, and reliability as any traditional data center—just with a smaller environmental footprint and lower costs.

Our customers typically see 30% lower energy costs compared to traditional data centers. This is due to our access to low-cost hydro-electric power, efficient cooling systems, and optimized infrastructure. The exact savings depend on your usage, but the cost benefits are significant across all service tiers.

Our facilities are Energy Star certified and maintain ISO 14001 environmental management certification. We regularly audit our PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) and maintain transparency about our environmental impact. We also comply with all regional environmental regulations and exceed industry standards.

PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) measures how efficiently a data center uses energy. A PUE of 1.0 would be perfect efficiency. Our PUE of 1.3 means that for every 1 watt of IT equipment power, we only use 0.3 watts for cooling and overhead. Traditional data centers average 2.0+, meaning they use an additional watt for overhead—essentially doubling the power consumption and cost.

Yes. Hydro-electric power from the Columbia River is one of the most reliable energy sources available. Unlike solar or wind, it provides consistent baseload power 24/7/365. We also maintain redundant power systems, backup generators, and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems to ensure 99.99% uptime for mission-critical applications.
