[The Norwegian solution]
Why choose Lefdal Mine Data Centers?
Scalability
We have the possibility to expand and build out 120,000 m2 of whitespace in the facility and house up to 200 MW capacity. With our modular design, time to market is low. Clients can reserve space and capacity for future growth.
Cost effective
We offer one of the lowest total cost of operations (TCOs) in Europe, as much as 50% lower than other data centers.
Flexibility
We can facilitate all known concepts for white space solutions. The facility structure enables a streamlined solution for IT containers in different shapes and sizes in a cost-effective way.
Unique Security
We offer one of Europe’s most physical secure data center facilities in an underground mountain hall facility with a single entrance. The IT spaces are located 700 meters inside the mountain, providing natural EMP protection. Our security concept covers the entire internal site and surrounding external areas.
Low-cost renewable power
Norway has some of the least expensive power in Europe. Long term contracts are available. 100% of our local power production is renewable and the transmission loss is at an absolute minimum.
High density
We utilize the cold fjord next to the facility for cooling. The cold water interacts with heat exchangers and a closed freshwater circuit providing 2N chilled water under the raised floor.
