ISO certification for Norway data centre

A zero carbon emissions data centre in Oslo which uses naturally cool air and renewable clean energy – presenting one of the most efficient and sustainable facilities worldwide – has received international ISO certification. Developed by DigiPlex, the independent data centre owner and operator, the facility has achieved the top international standards for both environmental management and information security.

The International Standards Organisation (ISO) is the world’s largest developer and publisher of international standards and is widely regarded as the most stringent set of standards applicable to the data centre industry. DigiPlex Stockholm has been granted ISO 27001:2013 Information Security Management and ISO14001:2004 Environmental Management System Standard. DigiPlex has already secured ISO certification in both categories for its Ulven and Rosenholm data centres in Oslo and, more recently, its Stockholm datacentre located in Upplands V?sby.

 

Gisle M. Eckhoff, CEO at DigiPlex, said:

 

“We are excited to spur green industry growth in the Nordics and develop energy systems utilizing strong natural resources. To do this we have to operate at the highest possible quality standards and we’re very proud of these certifications, not just because they reflect our position as a top tier data centre provider, but most importantly because they help our customers meet stringent procurement and operating requirements – making it easier and simpler for them to complete environmental and security audits with complete assurance.

 

“DigiPlex Fetsund is a clear demonstration of our belief that environmental responsibility is a necessary component of responsible real estate development – where ‘green power’ delivers real differentiating commercial advantage. We’re very pleased to be internationally recognised for both its inherent resilience and sustainable design.” 

 

Opened by Tine Sundtoft, Norway’s Minister for Climate and Environment, the facility produced the world’s first ever data center bond, providing both construction and permanent financing.

 

The data centre consolidated numerous   inefficient data centres into one modern 12 MW facility, decreasing overall power consumption by more than half - locking in environmental benefits for a contract period of 20 years for EVRY  which took a 100% pre-lease commitment.

 

DigiPlex’s Fetsund development is a step-change in designing a building which provides significant operating efficiencies and is at the very forefront of innovative green design and build. Using 100% renewable clean energy from hydro sources, the facility also features DigiPlex’s industry-leading Air to Air (A2A) cooling technology which delivers ultra low power usage effectiveness and DigiPlex’s DeOx fire proofing system.
