During his keynote address, Murphy commented on DigiPlex’s expansion and the drivers affecting data centre growth: “In 2011 global internet usage reached 2.1 billion, compared to just 360 million in 2000. Across the world use of the internet in our personal and professional lives will continue to increase exponentially as our use of mobile devices expands.”
He added: “High quality data centres in centrally located areas are vital, and demand will only continue to increase. They are the infrastructure of 21st century life and we’re committed to providing our global customers’ the local capacity they need, giving them the very best in uptime, security, sustainability and value.”
Greg McCulloch, DigiPlex Operations Director commented: “We are extremely proud of the A2A design and the environmental and cost benefits it delivers for our clients – two key factors that affect their data centre decisions. The A2A modular data centre design utilises a closed circuit ‘Air Treatment Pod’ (ATP). The ATP capitalises on the cool, wet atmospheric conditions of Northern Europe and Scandinavia to deliver several layers of ‘free cooling’. This is a huge benefit to customers.”
The new cooling technology of A2A will half the amount of energy used to keep computers and servers at an ideal working temperature. Not only does it have significant environmental benefits but it also reduces power cost for customers. In addition, waste heat from the new data centre will be used to heat buildings in the immediate area.
The market leader in data centre operations in Norway, DigiPlex already operates two data centres in Oslo and Oppegård. Its third data centre in Norway will be operational by 2014, with construction beginning in autumn 2013.
With a UK operating base in London, DigiPlex operates the Breakspear Park data centre in Hemel Hempstead.
