This Dublin Data Center is located at Ballycoolin, Dublin, Ireland. The new data center in Dublin represents a milestone in data center design.

The new Dublin facility incorporates design innovations driving its efficiency, including a “free cooling” system that uses outside air to cool the data center, and a server pod design that employs hot aisle containment to support warmer operating temperatures inside the server space. The Dublin center operates at a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.25, Our client says, compared to averages of about 2.0 for the industry and 1.6 for their other facilities.
