How European Data Centers Are Pioneering Green Technology
As a preeminent data center provider in Europe, Interxion is among the leaders in both efficient energy practices and the use of renewable energy, showing that being green is a crucial way to win customers in the EU. At Interxion, energy efficiency is a companywide policy, with energy-saving measures built right into its data centers. For more than 20 years, Interxion has pioneered energy-saving designs and harnessed everything from arctic winds to underground aquifers to the Baltic Sea to reduce its energy use and thus its carbon footprint. In addition to energy efficiency, Interxion pioneered the use of 100% sustainable energy sources, including water, solar and wind to power its data centers across Europe. Between 2017 and 2019, Interxion chose to redeem all of its data centers’ electricity usage in the form of renewable energy produced in Europe, either via suppliers’ green tariffs or Guarantees of Origin.
