 Welcome to JSA TV live coming to you today from the floor of data cloud global Congress in beautiful Monaco It's our last time in Monaco. We're moving is switching Locations next year to can but that's so we're enjoying our last time here. I think in in Monaco for data cloud It's a full full week and I'm very pleased to introduce my guest here today Matt Sanderson the chief marketing officer at left Elmine data center. Welcome. Thank you so much Barbara Yeah, how's the week been for you so far? It's been really good. And as you say, it's Monaco. It's beautiful I happen to believe that can is maybe even a little bit better. So Exactly so we last heard from you, I believe in December you were on a JSA Virtual roundtable talking about predictions for 2023. Tell us what's been happening for you since then Yeah, I guess that after COVID and things have gotten a lot more hectic already. We see an increased activity in the market by Customers partners suppliers. Everything is is turning up the volume So we have been moving in some large clients taking some pretty a lot of effort from our organization But we also recently and very happily we we installed two new 30 megawatt transformers Which is going live as we speak which is adding capacity to our site in Norway and We actually built them 700 meters into a mountain to protect them from and the physical You know any threat at all. So it's a new world out there. Yeah, yeah And I mean you come from the the land I believe of where sustainability is at the the heart of Probably a lot of what you do and it's important to your business. I know that it's one of your pillars I also understand that you're one of Europe's greenest data status data sent excuse me data centers Tell us a little bit about that. Yeah We were day one since we started this project We we decided that we wanted to be one of the greenest data centers in the world and the core design We started up with is really building up to that now having said that we do have that claim There are many reasons for that first of all we're doing renewable power 100 percent There is no certificates of origin or all others We are having a short transmission of the power meaning that we don't lose power in the grid Transporting it. We are close to the power production. Yeah, we have a leading efficient cooling system Which makes us use little power. We're reusing a former mine into a data center Meaning that we use little materials when we construct we have low visual impact for the people around us And we are reusing the waste heat now to salmon hatchery and apart from that We are doing everything we can to support code of conduct certifications, etc. To really become the most sustainable data center in Europe And in addition to that while you're doing all that you're still thinking about well How do we make sure we're future-proofing our? you know our facilities for our clients for for the industry and for all of the adoption of You know the massive data loads that are happening Talk about that. Yeah, a future-proof is an expression that we have been working on for some time and We're quite clear on that I mean one thing is the sustainability and we see that we We are moving into a world where everyone is talking about sustainability We happen to believe that if you're not doing what you can as a DC operator or as a managed service provider in 10 years You're out of business because this is becoming a demand from the clients and from partners and from the world as such So the sustainability is one important pillar of future-proof Also together with security obviously with the situation in the world now with wars with the Conflicts rising. It's important to protect physically protect the data centers more than ever So that's an important pillar and we also happen to believe that Cost efficiency is important. Do not over engineer Purpose bill make sure that you have what is good for the customer, but Modular flexible and pay-as-you-grow models meaning that you keep the cost as low as possible Not only on build-up, but also on operational costs. So we happen to have a TCO total cost of operations which is leading in Europe both because of low power prices But also the low capex we have for building out capacity. So that is future-proof Sustainable secure and cost-effective.
