You may have heard the news about the ‘smart energy’ revolution that the national grid has recently discussed, whereby consumers can adjust their energy consumption to use energy when its cheapest.
This scalable, pay-for-what-you-use model is becoming more and more popular for many consumers across industries, including the data centre sector. Flexible options that consider the consumers’ usage habits and place them at the heart of their interaction with the product are being adopted increasingly frequently.
The resulting reduction in cost is one reason for this – customers, whether they’re using electricity to store their data or energy to power their homes, obviously don’t want be paying for what they don’t use. However, another large part of this revolution stems from the providers themselves, who want to provide not just great customer experience, but a service that is friendly to the environment.
Here at LDeX, we’re very proud to be carbon neutral, and we always aim to help clients to reach their environmental impact targets with our services. Our data centres are powered by 100% renewable energy sources and use maximum efficiency cooling systems in order to avoid downtime whilst minimising energy waste.
With the rise of smart energy, we’re seeing businesses and consumers alike putting greener thinking at the heart of their product choices – a trend that we hope will continue to grow.
