Iceland is especially suitable for the placement of data centers for numerous reasons. One reason is that not a single second of downtime at Advania s data center is caused by natural disasters. And that is pure fact. A typical data center will use about as much energy for cooling as it takes to keep the servers and other equipment running. With a data center in Iceland, the customer takes advantage of so-called free natural cooling - this by using outdoor temperatures that never gets really hot or really cold. This is a key factor for achieving low average value of PUE.
