Data Center Metrics Demystified
Data center efficiency goes beyond knowing if servers are still up. These days, data center managers are accountable for energy usage, energy efficiency, compliance, regulation, and the list goes on. more

The Green Gold Rush Over Iceland’s Data Centers
There is a gold rush mentality right now when it comes to building data centers in Iceland, according to execs of the companies that have been moving into that market. The latest person to reference this phrase to me is Tate Cantrell, CTO of startup Verne Global, and he told me it’s not uncommon for his web-serving customers to bring up the description when asking about the industry. more

100% Green Energy

All of Iceland's electricity comes from affordable, sustainable geothermal and hydroelectric energy. There's no "greenwashing"" here. These resources are 100% renewable, with no green energy price premium. The price is low, and production is free from both the atmospheric emissions of fossil fuels and the potential hazards of nuclear power.

With Verne Global's access to long-term power commitments, you're guaranteed a supply of continuous, high-quality electricity at a fixed rate. You can lock in a low, inflation-protected rate for up to 20 years and shield yourself from any escalation in global electric power prices.

Icelandic power comes with further benefits. While the U.S. and U.K. are constrained by inefficient, increasingly overburdened electricity grids that date back to the 1960s, Iceland has a reliable, resilient and energy-efficient grid that's barely a decade old. In fact, the quality and delivery reliability of the Iceland supply grid is among the best in the world.

In addition, Iceland is the only country in Western Europe that still has large indigenous amounts of competitively-priced hydroelectric and geothermal energy remaining to be harnessed. Only a fraction of the country's energy potential has been tapped – less than 20% to date.
