Reducing the Costs of Data Centres

Data centres are generally huge facilities which are expensive to set up and run due to the nature of them housing large computer systems which are running 24/7. It is estimated that the new data centre for Amazon in Oregon is expected to cost up to $100 million. Obviously, Amazon is one of the largest companies in the world, but even so, you can imagine the costs which could be involved. Digital Realty Trust work with leaders in construction and leading component manufacturers to ensure that their data centre design and supply costs are as low as possible. You will also be given a guaranteed price, so there will be no unpleasant surprises once the facility is ready for you to move in, as well as a guaranteed delivery date so your business won’t lose continuity.

Across the globe, businesses are making every effort to become more sustainable and reduce their carbon footprint. Advances in technology are making this easier and this has been reflected in the amount of electricity consumption produced by data centres in the last few years (although this has been affected by the recession too). Even though more companies are using data centres now, there has been a slower increase in the amount of electricity being used thanks to more efficiency. Digital Realty Trust have lead the way in the introduction of the green data centre. Their energy efficient data centre design also helps to reduce costs for your business by reducing the amount of power required. They do this in a number of ways, including hot aisle/cold aisle implementation, an optimum operating temperature, incremental building methodologies, and properly sealed flooring with unblocked and uncovered perforated tiles. The main aim is to reduce overall power consumption and to remove heat effectively through the methods described.
