Opening a new data center Hydro66
The opening of the new data center of the British provider of the colocation Hydro66 took place. All IT infrastructure data center area of 1000 sq.m. will work on hydropower from the nearest hydroelectric station (500 m), which is located near the Swedish city of Boden. According to the designers, such a choice of energy sources will help reduce the cost of colocation compared to sites in Europe and the UK. You can also reduce costs due to location. The climate of Sweden is quite cold and will allow you to abandon the mechanical and chemical methods of cold supply.

The opening of the data center was attended by the Minister of Finance of Sweden Magdalena Andersson. She noted that such projects are of great importance for the development of the economic sector of the northern European state.
The campus is located next to the new 120 MW substation, which provides it with electricity from a 78 MW hydroelectric station on the Lule River.
According to preliminary estimates of experts, the average annual PUE ratio will be about 1.07.
The company placed its first data center in Sweden, just 70 km from the Arctic Circle (average temperature at -1.3 ° C).
The Hydro66 data center is located next to two physical fiber optic lines. At the disposal of clients will be provided at the same time several companies supplying telecommunications services.
From the words of CEO Andy Long:
The choice of Sweden as a location for the Hydro66 data center is also due to the security of electricity supply, political and geographical stability in the country.
Northern Europe is becoming increasingly attractive for data center operators. The Scandinavian countries Norway and Sweden became favorites due to the climate and ready access to renewable energy sources.
The Hydro66 data center is being built in the Node Pole region and will be adjacent to the Facebook data center.
According to tradition, a little advertising in the basement, where it does not hurt anyone. Our company launched a New Year sale of servers and VPS, within which you can get from 1 to 3 months of rent for free. The details of the action you can find here .

From the words of CEO Andy Long:
Good managers try to optimize costs while rationally arranging their corporate data according to the law. We have developed a project that will help Scandinavian companies to reduce costs without harming the reliability of the computing infrastructure. Observing the constant increase in network bandwidth, top managers come to the understanding that it is better to build a data center outside urban centers. Not for nothing, large Internet companies have been choosing peripherals for hosting their server farms for more than ten years.
