Data Center peaks in energy performance

Commercial data centers all need stable power and lots of it. They also need back up power and a back up for that power as the information they house is so important and needs to be up all the time. That does not mean that energy consumption should be a second thought. The North London Data Centre of Fujitsu became only fully certified Tier III data centre in Europe but it also has less than half the M&E services energy consumption of standard designs of such buildings. The company spent over $44 million pounds to achieve the certification but the designer believes it was all worth it and hopes other data centers follow suit.
