Kajaani Data Center

CSC's Data Center will be placed in an old paper storage warehouse

CSC – IT Center for Science Ltd. is building one of the most eco-efficient data centers in the world. The location is Kajaani, in Northern Finland. The Kajaani Data Center is a proven solution based on technology, modern, reliable infrastructure and ecological efficiency for data needs in research and development in public and private sector. The Funet Network (Finnish University and Research Network) ensures excellent networking capabilities around the world.

Modular Data Center is easy to expand

CSC’s modular Data Center is going to be built in the Renforsin Ranta business area. For the needs of CSC’s modular Data Center a 3,000 m2 area is reserved, in which the capacity of the first lot will be enough for thousands of servers and power output will be approximately 4MW.

The CSC data center will be in production use in early September 2012. At first, CSC's next supercomputer and other CSC’s customer systems will be placed in Kajaani. The data park is easy to be expanded in the future.

Cost-Efficient Solution – Sustainable And Green Energy Supply

The Data Center aims for a near zero carbon footprint during its operational lifetime. The chosen technique is both eco- and cost-effective solution. Servers are cooled down with outside air and the primary means of electric power is hydropower-generated energy. The annual energy efficiency of the data center (PUE, Power Usage Efficiency) is estimated to be 1,15. PUE defines the ratio between the total energy consumption in data center servers and the energy consumed.
