EvoSwitch - Green abstracts centermost EvoSwitch raises activity extenuative to 40 percent

Store this angel in big sizeAMSTERDAM, 18 December 2008 – EvoSwitch, the Dutch carrier- and CO2-neutral abstracts center, managed to abate the boilerplate Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of the abstracts centermost from 1.8 to 1.6. This resulted in a 20 percent access in activity extenuative - from 20 to 40 percent - compared to a acceptable abstracts center. The ultimate ambition of EvoSwitch is to accomplish an activity extenuative of 70 to 80 percent.

The added 20 percent extenuative in activity burning is abundantly the aftereffect of added investments in low-energy accessories and ascendancy systems. The amplification of the abstracts centermost in 2008 aswell contributed to the bigger PUE.

The aboriginal appearance of EvoSwitch (2,000 m2) is already absolutely active by accessories from customers. This appearance was completed in April 2007. Part of the additional appearance (2,000 m2 extra) is aswell about absolutely used. The additional appearance was completed anon afore the summer of 2008 and appropriate an added investment of 9 actor Euros. When the next phases are completed, EvoSwitch will accept a abeyant attic across accommodation of added than 9,000 m2.

Objective: 70 to 80 percent activity saving
“The added activity extenuative is in band with what we affected beforehand,” says Laurens Rosenthal, Innovation Director of EvoSwitch. “An boilerplate PUE of 1.6 is low, but the new architecture of the next phases enables us to accomplish an even lower PUE. After achievement of the next phases a PUE of 1.2 to 1.3 is a actual astute objective. According to our calculations, an activity extenuative will be realised in the new phase, in appearance 3, of 70 to 80 percent compared to a acceptable abstracts center.”

A PUE of 1.2 to 1.3 is actual low and proves that EvoSwitch is a arch abstracts centermost innovator. Rosenthal: “It agency that you charge alone 20 to 30 percent added ability to administer the abstracts centre infrastructure, admitting in acceptable abstracts centres 80 to 120 percent added ability is absolutely accepted nowadays. There are even excesses in the bazaar of 3.0, which agency that 200 percent added activity is required.”

Affordable abstracts center
The activity accumulation are acclimated by EvoSwitch to accounts the accepted and new investments in blooming technologies, but aswell to action barter affordable activity prices. “Building a blooming abstracts centermost is added big-ticket than a acceptable abstracts center, but this does not affect our customers,” says Rosenthal. “We use the accumulation for added investments in blooming technology. Our barter aswell do not accept to pay annihilation added for our CO2 compensation, in which we advance calm with the Climate Neutral Group. At EvoSwitch, companies are aswell bigger adequate adjoin top activity charges. Because of our investments in blooming technology and our abiding activity purchasing strategy, we can accumulate activity costs controllable and anticipated for our customers.”

Energy-low abstracts center
The environmentally affable architecture of the EvoSwitch abstracts centermost was the aftereffect of able admonition from TNO and the avant-garde plan of our own committed architecture team. It enabled us to action an energy-low abstraction at the aperture of the abstracts centermost in April 2007, a allotment of added things based on Free Cooling (using the alfresco temperature), Cold Corridors (separating balmy and algid air flows) and UPS technology with Delta Conversion.

EvoSwitch is now putting the final touches to a new architecture that will advance the PUE even further. Rosenthal: “This will aftereffect in lower basic costs and operating costs and will account both the ambiance and the barter of EvoSwitch.”

PUE and DCiE
There are abounding suppliers on the bazaar who affirmation to accomplish ‘green’. “The alone affair that counts in a abstracts center, however, is the Power Usage Effectiveness,” says Rosenthal. “A abstracts centre may buy blooming power, but that does not accomplish it energy-low. A abstracts centre may install Cold Corridors, but that does not necessarily aftereffect in the best accessible activity saving. The PUE of a abstracts centre is the key amount that shows ‘how green’ a abstracts centermost in actuality is. Recently, the Green Grid, of which we are a member, absitively to use the appellation Data Center basement Effectiveness (DCiE) as well. The lower the PUE or the college the DCiE, the added acknowledged the abstraction of a blooming abstracts center. How this is accomplished is a amount of authoritative the appropriate choices from the assorted accessible blooming technologies. We now aim to realise a PUE of 1.2 to 1.3 in the new abstracts centermost designs.”
