How colocation can cut your energy costs

Energy saving initiatives

Many businesses are looking at alarmingly increased energy bills coming this year and are desperate for efficient ways to cut costs. Partnering with us could significantly cut your overall energy consumption compared to on-premise facilities through Ark’s energy-efficient, innovative direct air evaporative cooling capability.  

Dramatically lowering energy consumption and costs, capable of providing compressor free cooling for 100% of every year.

By capturing water from the roof and also from the ‘run-off’ of the car parks it is possible for our data centre evaporative cooling systems to operate solely on harvested rainwater (with the exception of the first year where we need to do an initial fill of the storage tanks).

By purchasing renewable energy up to 3 years ahead Ark is providing strong market signals for the installation of additional grid connected renewable generation capacity. In turn, our customers benefit from the lowest renewable energy prices available in the UK market, while dramatically lowering their own carbon footprint.
