100 proc. green energyFrom 1 January 2023, Atman Data Centers use only green energy. This means that customers’ devices in colocation, dedicated servers and cloud services, as well as all Atman’s data center infrastructure and systems, are powered by renewable energy.

Last year we decided to switch fully to renewable energy, starting from the New Year. The so-called guarantees of origin from RES that Atman purchased cover 100% of the electricity consumed by our data centers, including the equipment of colocation customers, our farm of 3000 dedicated servers, as well as Atman Cloud, Backup and Object Storage platforms.

Supporting producers of renewable energy is an important part of our sustainability policy, as are efforts to continuously improve the data center energy efficiency and thus reduce electricity consumption.

We use ongoing repairs of the operational server facilities to raise their energy efficiency standards, e.g. by replacing energy-intensive infrastructure elements.

In the case of new investments, such as the planned construction of Atman Data Center WAW-3 (43 MW of IT power) in Duchnice, west of Warsaw, the buildings are designed with the highest possible energy savings in mind from the very beginning.

 

Not only green energy

Our pro-environmental and pro-climate actions go beyond energy. For instance, at our largest campus (DC WAW-1 at 21a Grochowska Street), the water we use in the data room cooling systems is in a closed circuit.

Also, we have installed roof insulation with a high albedo coefficient. It is a parameter that indicates the ability of a given surface to reflect sunlight. The higher the albedo, the more UV radiation the surface reflects, and so the less it heats up.
