Mainstreaming the sustainable data center

Global cloud companies have all committed to bold sustainability targets for reducing energy and water consumption. The Edged platform provides a new tool for meeting those targets—while also cutting costs.

Ultra efficient and carbon neutral

Our data centers are designed to cut overhead energy consumption 74% portfolio-wide compared with the global average and operate efficiently, even in the hottest climates. The platform’s European operations will be carbon neutral through a combination of solar and wind PPAs, utility green energy programs and certified carbon credits. The facilities are backed up by ultra-clean (Tier 4 Final) critical power systems that virtually eliminate the direct air emissions that are typical in data centers.

Waterless cooling. Anywhere.

Traditional data center cooling consumes vast quantities of water, putting significant pressure on local resources. To address this growing issue, Edged worked closely with our sister company ThermalWorks to develop an ultra-efficient cooling system that supports the dense AI-driven loads that are reshaping the IT industry, without consuming water. Compared with industry average systems with WUE of 1.8, a 100 MW MERLIN | Edged data center saves 1.49 billion liters of water every year.

Highlights from the field

Solar Glass
Our data centers in Barcelona and Madrid-Getafe, Spain are covered with photovoltaic glass panels which help power the facilities.

Biofuel Standby Power
The standby generators at Edged facilities in Spain are powered by biofuel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) which reduces their carbon emissions by 90%. 

On-site Solar Farm
Our data center in Bilbao-Arasur, Spain will operate on 100% renewable energy from an adjacent 135 MW solar farm currently under construction.
