Summary
With its IT infrastructure, Green helps to ensure that the economy is based on strong foundations and it serves as an important partner for international cloud providers. The company is now expanding its presence with a prominent statement: the Zurich Metro Campus - comprising three high-density data centers, a business park and integrated green zones The campus is to be built in Dielsdorf and will cover more than 46,000 m2, making it approximately four times as big as Times Square in New York. Green is investing 500 million Swiss francs in this major project. Construction will get underway in the first quarter of 2021 and the first data center is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2022.
The Metro Campus will be an important component of Green's vision of playing a part in evolving Switzerland into an innovative location for secure and sustainable data centers. With this aim in mind, Green has further developed the design of the data centers to ensure higher performance and more efficient power supply and cooling. Air flow simulations, cooling systems for the data rooms and waste heat recovery for the buildings mean that energy consumption can be kept to a minimum, irrespective of whether the center is used at partial or full capacity. The data centers thus achieve an excellent PUE value, even at an extremely high power density of more than 25 kilowatts per rack. The increased performance is ideal for high density applications such as those used by international cloud providers.
And the municipality of Dielsdorf will also profit from the innovations. The Metro Campus concept incorporates connection to a district heating/cooling system that can be used by every building in the municipality.
