Low-carbon data centers have a 'key competitive advantage,' says Ardian
Low-carbon data center platforms, like Iceland-based Verne, will have a "key competitive advantage," according to private equity backer Actis.
Actis recently invested in Verne, with operations in Iceland, the UK and Finland, largely because the data center company sources entirely low-carbon energy, including in Finland, where it sources nuclear energy.
"We see data centers as a hybrid asset between digital infrastructure and a power asset," says Pauline Thomson, Head of Data Science and a Managing Director at Ardian. "Because in the end what you give to your clients is, of course, storage, connectivity, but it's access to power."
"Being able to provide low carbon energy to your clients is going to be a key competitive advantage," says Thomson.
Thomson shares these insights as part of the Cool Vector video-podcast episode, "Ardian's Nordic Data Center Platform Supports 'Sustainable Compute.'" Watch the full episode on Cool Vector's YouTube channel:
