Market trends

SLIDE 3SLIDE 3

� Steep growth in the demand for data centre space and power– Increasing demand for data traffic and storage

• Growing IP network traffic (IPTV, on-demand video traffic, VoIP, e-commerce, household broadband penetration)

• Increasing number of companies outsource their server farm to data centres

• Increased central hosting of enterprise applications

Demand

� Increasing technical requirements (power, cooling)

MARKET TRENDS

Technology

requirements

Environmental

requirements

� Increasing technical requirements (power, cooling)� High density equipment, blade servers

� Server virtualisation

� Required power density approaching 5 kW/m2

� Previous generation (1999/2000) engineered at ~ 500 W/m2

� Increasing environmental requirements

ICT has become one of the most energy consuming industries with around 7.5 % of the electricity consumption in the Netherlands

ICT carbon footprint comparable with aviation industry

ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

SLIDE 5SLIDE 5SLIDE 5

ICT carbon footprint comparable with aviation industry

ICT energy consumption doubles every 5 -6 years

Strong environmental pressure to design with maximum energy efficiency (e.g. use of free air cooling)

• Data centre can also operate stand-alone (not

depending on the greenhouse farming)

• 12200 Ton annual carbon savings (Royal Haskoning)

• Growers have their own electricity company ECW;

electrical infrastructure is ready and available

• Electricity purchasing under agreement with electricity

management company for farmers

– Purchasing on OTC

– No supplier lock-in
