Green today announces the start of construction of the fourth data center on the Metro Campus Zurich West. At the company's headquarters, 5,526 m2<\/sup> of new data center space for secure and energy-efficient high-performance computing. This corresponds to 12 megawatts of power for customer systems. The Zurich West 4 data center will be equipped with a waste heat extraction system to supply the region with climate-neutral heating.<\/p>\r\n

Demand accelerates start of construction<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

The demand for modern data centers is high. New technologies such as artificial intelligence and the digitalization push across all industries require more computing power and generate more data volume. At the same time, the outsourcing of company-owned data centers is increasing - many companies are dismantling their own data centers because they no longer offer sufficient capacity, flexibility and energy efficiency. \"We are at the beginning of another wave of investment,\" explains Roger S\u00fcess, CEO of Green, adding: \"With our investment program, we are doubling our data center capacities again over the next two to three years. Modern and efficient data centers are an important prerequisite for companies to implement digitalization in a sustainable and future-proof way.\"<\/p>\r\n

Heat network-supported data centers<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

Green is gearing its data center architecture towards high energy efficiency and future requirements for high-performance computing. Datacenter Zurich West 4 will be equipped with a waste heat extraction system. The waste heat from the customer systems will flow into the new Naturenergie Eigenamt heating network operated by IBB Energie AG. Green also uses natural cooling (freecooling) from the ambient air for cooling, thereby minimizing energy consumption. The room design, systems and controls are in line with Green's latest energy-saving reference architecture. Photovoltaic systems also complement the concept.<\/p>\r\n
