 Hey everybody, welcome to JSA TV and JSA podcast the newsroom for data center and telecom professionals I'm Jamie Scott Okutaya of JSA and we are reporting live from the floor of ITW 2022 It's an exciting time. This is the 15th anniversary for ITW So a lot of great things to be around people again This is the first time in two years for me at least and so it's so great to see so many wonderful Faces friends. It's really an honor and so much news breaking on the floor here and to help me further approve that I've brought along a friend Kim Gunelius. He's the CCO and co-founder of Fikolo Kim welcome to JSA TV. Thank you very much. I pleasure to be here We are so honored to have you here. There's so much so much great news about Fikolo such a leading example For sustainable data centers in our industry. Can you set the table and tell us a little bit more? right, so Fikolo is the only climate-neutral certified Co-location player in the Nordics That is on hyperscale level So we're ready to scale and we're ready to support you in a sustainable way for your deployments And I will tell you Nordics from for my readings on on Sustainabilities especially in our data center industry the Nordics have been leading the charge You guys have done extraordinary things in Finland at your locations And and I should say you also included it in our book greener data They are a chapter author of greener data, which I am so so honored to have you in in our book Kim But for our community we'll get to our sustainability message in a second But for our our community here at ITW, what is your international wholesale message that you'd like to share with us today? So The Nordics is a great location for data centers. It's cool So you save energy you save money and you can do do it all sustainably you've got sustainable power and Well because we're ready to scale You don't have to kind of worry about having two small sites and you know, I can we support you in the future? So future proof as well And I love and you talk about this in the chapter as well, but I love how you've engineered sites Selected sites based on their ability to naturally cool. Can you tell us a little bit more about your fecalo sites? Absolutely the original site was an underground network of tunnels which is in the bedrock So so that's a very stable location a billion years old rock Where the defense forces quarried tunnels in the 60s and they were not any any kind of use So so we thought we can get natural cooling To to save on energy. So that was the idea. That's where it started from It's brilliant brilliant. I mean how many data centers are built into caves and network of caves Unbelievable but talk about looking for site selection and being creative and Thinking green from the very the very beginning So a lot for us to to learn about there Can I ask you where can our viewers go to learn more about fecalo? Well, you can go to our website But what I really recommend is going to our YouTube channel because we've got some great videos where you really get a feel for the tunnels themselves As well as the the air in Helsinki the air cooling system and the the excellent technology there. Oh, I love that Yes, go to YouTube guys if you're not there already. This is also streaming on YouTube. So you might be But on YouTube the fecalo page has the video of these caves and and the data centers built right into the networks of the caves such cool cool Such cool technology to get greener and get greener today again the the case in point the working example of how our data centers can be green and Net zero today. So amazing amazing. Thank you so much Kim for joining us and being such a leader in the movement We really appreciate you. Thank you very much. It was my pleasure and Thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV and JSA podcast as always guys think green and happy networking
