Former European CPI Success Story Subject, TelecityGroup, Wins Prestigious Sustainability Award

March 01, 2011

Chatsworth Products, Inc. (CPI) is pleased to congratulate TelecityGroup, one of Europe’s leading providers of premium network-independent and collocation data centres, on recently being named winner of the ‘Best Data Centre Innovation’ category at the Greenbang Sustainability Awards for 2010. This prestigious honor was bestowed upon TelecityGroup after the successful launch of its newest Paris data center, Condorcet, where an innovative, environmentally-minded design is expected to save an equivalent of 2,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.BLOG-TELECITYGROUP-LOGO.gif 

TelecityGroup’s CEO, Michael Tobin, points out the award is “recognition for the ongoing hard work of TelecityGroup and our commitment to environmental sustainability. We strive to ensure the company’s environmental impact is minimized throughout all our operations.”

One such example of TelecityGroup’s ongoing commitment to sustainable data center design and operation is that of its Central London facility, known as Powergate. Offering 5,000 m2 and 10 megawatts (MW) of customer capacity (with plans to add another 10,000 sq. m of space & 29 MW of capacity), this large-scale installation is both flexible and energy efficient thanks in large part to CPI Passive Cooling® Solutions provided by the highly versatile F-Series TeraFrame® Cabinet System.

In fact, not long after the Powergate facility opened in 2008, TelecityGroup enjoyed 20% savings on power and cooling costs thanks to these CPI Solutions. To learn more about this international success story, read the complete case study here.

With a European sales office in Bourne End, United Kingdom, Chatsworth Products is proud to provide top-notch solutions to green-minded organizations like TelecityGroup and others in the EMEA region and beyond. Ultimately, it’s the success stories of today that help shape positive sustainability for tomorrow. Jeff Cihocki, eContent Specialist
