Evolution

Generally, this location provided for the following;Huge available power– 240MW, with redundant connection to 150kV

‘Thinking outside the box…..or thinking outside the data center’

SLIDE 3SLIDE 3

Huge available power– 240MW, with redundant connection to 150kV Network, in place ready to use as of 2005.The area has a private power network – 30+ CHP’s providing 135MW to the network, connected in a radial formation.Natural resources - underground water storage and availability of ground , surface and lake water for coolingThe future expansion of the area for SymbiosisExcellent connectivity to Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX)Very competitive land prices.

So how will this evolve?Does Symbiosis provide a mutual benefit?How will this location improve our efficiency and PUE?

Smart power procurementIT energy reuse, ERF = 0,68Proprietary heat exchange processTotal of 30,200 metric tons annual carbon savingsSmart use of CHP units and network as additional back-up power source

An important step into the low carbon economy!
