The recognition highlights atNorth’s continued dedication to championing sustainable data center solutions and is yet another tribute to the innovative design of its SWE01 campus in Sweden.
All new atNorth campuses are built with heat re-use technology and are direct liquid cooling enabled, and it is this commitment to finding the most sustainable solution to client requirements that distinguishes the business within the data center industry.
