The UK's most sustainable
data centre
There are 2 facts why DataVita is the most sustainable data centre provider in the UK
Not All Green Energy is Created Equal
The location of your data centre has the single biggest impact on your digital emissions!
Carbon Intensity, the definitive measure of electricity's environmental toll, uncovers substantial variations in "green energy" claims across regions.
By simply relocating a 200-rack data centre from London to Scotland, this would save over 6,000,000 kgCO2e, equivalent to over 14 million miles driven by the average mid-sized car.
Location Matters
Beyond IT load, cooling overhead is the most significant energy consumed in data centres. Scotland’s naturally cool climate allows us to leverage Free Air-Cooling technology, enabling us to use the ambient air for cooling throughout most of the year, significantly reducing energy use and enhancing our green credentials.
While the average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of UK data centres hovers around 1.8, DataVita breaks the mould with an industry-leading PUE of 1.17. This distinction is pivotal, not only in championing a low-carbon footprint but also in significantly reducing energy costs for our clients. Choose DataVita for unparalleled efficiency that benefits both the planet and your budget.
While the core of our sustainability mission revolves around efficiency and carbon reduction, DataVita's commitment extends far beyond these fundamentals. From pioneering initiatives to innovative certifications, our journey is marked by a continuous quest for sustainability.
At the heart of our environmental strategy is the use of 100% renewable energy. Every kilowatt powering DataVita's data centre is backed by Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificates, ensuring our energy consumption is sustainably sourced and contributing to a cleaner, greener planet.
DataVita is at the forefront of the movement towards a sustainable future, proudly standing as the first Scottish IT company to sign the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact. This commitment signals our unwavering dedication to achieving carbon neutrality and leading the tech sector in environmental stewardship.
Our operations are meticulously guided by the ISO 14001 certification, a testament to our commitment to rigorous environmental management. This framework ensures that our Environmental Management System (EMS) not only adheres to but sets the benchmark for eco-friendly practices in the tech industry.
Embracing the Climate Change Levy (CCL) is a key facet of our strategy to minimise environmental impact. By committing to annual carbon reduction targets, DataVita not only enhances its energy efficiency but also serves as a beacon for corporate responsibility, encouraging other businesses to follow suit.
Our innovative approach to sustainability is exemplified by our water recovery and reuse system, showcasing our dedication to minimising waste and conserving vital resources. This initiative is a crucial part of our broader effort to champion environmental sustainability in every aspect of our operations.
At DataVita, we employ state-of-the-art monitoring systems across all our operations. This enables us to ensure that our data centres are functioning at maximum efficiency at all times, further reducing our environmental impact and enhancing our service reliability.
