Environmental Ethics are at the core of our business and one of the primary design aims of our new Data Centre in Poole was to make it as energy efficient as possible.
Our new Poole Data Centre has been running now for 3 months (May 2018 to August 2018) during this time we have been keeping a record of energy usage.
To calculate the efficiency of a Data Centre and help identify areas where improvements can be made The Green Energy Grid came up with
Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric.
Over the first 3 month period our new Poole Data Centre has been running it has run with a PUE rating of 1.41. This is very good but we believe that it could be better.
By measuring our PUE we have identified areas such as UPS and Cooling Systems where further efficiencies can be made. We are looking in to solutions with the help of Dorset County Council's Low Carbon Dorset to further reduce energy consumption.
