Energy Efficiency and Lower Cost Per kWh

Cheyenne enjoys some of the lowest energy prices in the nation, and energy-efficient data center design helps the facility sip from the grid instead of guzzle. This data center is up to 75% more efficient than the national average, leading to cost savings that are passed directly to you. Sustainability and energy efficiency efforts include:

‍

Energy Star equipment
Filtered outside air used for efficient cooling
Hot aisle containment
Cold aisle standard 68°F

PASSIVE COOLING PER ANNUM

The naturally cool and dry Wyoming climate is ideal for passive cooling. Instead of traditional CRAC units, your servers stay cool with custom indirect evaporative units from Vertiv. Cooling a facility with filtered, outside air instead of traditional computer room air conditioners (CRACS) dramatically reduces energy cost.
