Greenergy brings sustainable data center services to the Baltics

GDC is the first large-scale data center in the Baltics, giving enterprises, government agencies, and managed service providers a place to safely store their mission-critical data while minimizing their environmental footprint. 

The GDC data center is an impressive 14,500-square-meter, 31.5-megawatt facility. Multiple levels of physical security  keep customers’ data secure. Power and digital infrastructure systems with double and triple redundancy support highly reliable operations. 

Renewable energy sources and the cool Nordic climate lower energy consumption. Waste heat is used to warm GDC's offices and it also has the technical capacity to share excess heat to a district heating plant, which then could be used by residential and local buildings. 

GDC needed a network to support its data center operations that aligned with its sustainability values. 

“Our focus on sustainability extends to our choice of vendor partners,” says Karu. 

“Our customers have a small ecological footprint for their data but enjoy the benefits of a secure, large-scale data center facility,” says Karu.

As the first data center of its kind in the Baltics, GDC can attract more technology-driven businesses to the region while minimizing the environmental impact of digitalization. Enterprise and government organizations can choose collocation, private suites, or, for maximum security, data vaults that are built into the area’s limestone.

Behind the scenes, a Juniper network supports GDC's business and data center operations.

“The best experience with any IT equipment is that we never have to touch it once it’s installed,” says Karu. “We haven’t had any trouble tickets with our Juniper equipment, and we know the door is open if we need help.”
