How our data centre powers climate-friendly hosting solutions

June 21, 2022

Our award-winning Samrand Data Centre isn’t just environmentally responsible – it powers more efficient, cost-effective hosting solutions for your business.

Climate change is a factor that affects everyone. At xneelo, we’re committed to ensuring our data centre continues to exceed international energy efficiency standards, both to do our part for the environment and keep costs down for our customers.

What is Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)?

Developed by The Green Grid, PUE is a global measure of how efficiently a data centre uses energy. The energy used by computing equipment is measured in relation to its cooling and other overheads – the closer to 1.0, the more efficient the facility.

We’re proud that our Samrand Data Centre has consistently achieved favourable ratings, beating industry averages year on year. Our facility maintains an exceptional annual PUE rating of 1.21, significantly outperforming global industry standards.

How our data centre benefits your business

Our data centre setup and specific server rack positioning reduce the power needed to maintain a cool server environment. This efficiency directly benefits our hosting, cloud, and colocation customers:

Cost-effective solutions: A high-density design efficiently manages our floor space, allowing us to run leaner while lowering maintenance costs. These savings are passed on to customers through our competitive pricing.

Reliable performance: Our air conditioning system is designed to reduce our carbon footprint and keep costs down, which translates directly into savings for our customers while maintaining optimal operating conditions.

Environmentally responsible: Our system uses free cooling and cold aisle containment technology to reduce reliance on active cooling and the national grid, resulting in significant power savings while supporting your sustainability goals.

Growing with your business needs

The continued demand for our products and the high demand for cloud offerings will see our data centre management capability continue to grow in the years to come, but our commitment to lowering our carbon footprint will always remain a core focus.

Secure and reliable.
