Welcome to Site 4016: Ark! 👋 As we have grown out of our office at Rennesøy, we needed more space closer to Stavanger. Our choice landed on Ark, the newest building at Site 4016. Ark is a forward-looking, innovative building packed with the latest technology and sustainability. This new location provides the perfect environment to support our continued growth and success. 🌱 Our admin team has already moved in, while our operation team and other key personnel remain at our Rennesøy office to stay close to the data center. We are also happy to cooperate with Smedvig again, who have done a fantastic job constructing this state-of-the-art facility! 🏗️ #SettingTheGreenStandard #DataCenter #GreenMountain

🌱 Green Mountain Community Support Fund Tidligere i år delte vi ut midler til sports- og kulturaktiviteter for barn i områdene rundt våre datasentre via vårt Community Support Fund. Mastra Sjøspeider var en av mange som mottok midler av oss i år. Med disse midlene vil de ta i bruk et friområde nær speiderhuset og etablere en buldrevegg og en bålplass. Dette vil komme både speiderne og lokalsamfunnet til gode. 🫶 Vi har mottatt en fantastisk video fra dem hvor de presenterer seg selv og takker for støtten. 😍 Tusen takk for deres engasjement! #SettingTheGreenStandard #GMCommunityFund #GreenMountain

Why do we need so many data centers? 🤔 Have you ever wondered why data centers are popping up everywhere and why they are so much bigger than before? We have tried to explain it in the simplest way possible! 📈Data Explosion: We generate a lot of data every second. The digital world is growing exponentially, from social media posts to online transactions. ☁️Cloud Computing: More businesses are moving to the cloud for flexibility and scalability, which demands more data storage and processing power. 🤖IoT & Smart Devices: With the rise of smart devices and the Internet of Things, we need robust infrastructure to handle continuous data streams. 🧠AI & Machine Learning: These advanced technologies require significant computational power and storage, driving the need for more data centers. 🌍Global Connectivity: As the world becomes more interconnected, ensuring data availability and reliability is crucial. Data centers help in providing seamless access across the globe. Check out the video below for a fun and easy explanation.👇 #SettingTheGreenStandard #GreenMountain #DataCenter

From challenge to change – Reducing F-gases emissions at OSL-Enebakk♻️ F-gas emissions from large cooling solutions can be a problem for data centers. This was also the case at our OSL-Enebakk site. Our technical team put a huge effort into finding and solving the problem's cause as soon as possible. We talked to Morten Hoel, the Operation Coordinator at our Enebakk site, to find out how they decreased F-gas emissions by more than 88%.

Is Norway too far away? 🤔 A common misconception is that Norway, on the far outskirts of Europe, suffers from high latency times and limited route options. This might have been true a decade ago, but recent investments in subsea fiber infrastructure have transformed the situation. Several new projects have been completed, with more underway. 〰️ Connectivity is crucial for data centers, focusing on speed and route diversity. At Green Mountain, our carrier-neutral facilities host multiple fiber providers, ensuring our clients receive the fastest, lowest-traffic, and most direct routes possible. Check out the animation below, where you can see the different subsea cable systems in operation👇 #CloserThanYouThink #SettingTheGreenStandard #GreenMountain
