Why do we need so many data centers?

A Rising Star award - Erik Haugvaldstad

A Rising Star💫 We are so proud of one of our employees, Erik Haugvaldstad, who is shortlisted for the "Rising Star Award" at this year's Global Connectivity Award! Erik is an Operation Specialist at Green Mountain and has been with us for over eight years, starting as an apprentice at nineteen. Erik has been shortlisted for the “Rising Star Award” for his extraordinary contribution and inspiring career journey, especially for his work with the company's new BMS system (Building Management System). Implementing a new BMS (DCIM) system is an important task for a data center, especially in a company where operational excellence is at the core of everything we do. Haugvaldstad was trusted to find a partner to deliver a system customized to our needs. Together with Gapit Nordics, he managed this project from start to end. We had a quick chat with Erik at his family's farm and the data center to learn more about him and his career journey. 🧑‍🌾🧑‍🏭 Have a look at the video below👇 We wish him the best of luck at the award ceremony on 16 October in London 👏 #SettingTheGreenStandard #GreenMountain #DataCenters

Who let the goats out? 🐐 Nestled inside a mountain and surrounded by lush green hills, our SVG-Rennesøy site is arguably one of the world's most beautiful and green data centers. ⛰️ Yesterday, we welcomed our newest team members, six goats, to the site! Maintaining the vegetation around the data center requires more than technology—so we're taking a new and sustainable approach to landscape management. 🌿🌲These goats will help us manage the dense vegetation around the data halls and our roads, reduce wildfire risk, and add a playful charm to our day-to-day operations. During the summer season, the goats will walk freely, blending nicely into the data center environment. 💚 #SettingTheGreenStandard #GreenMountain #DataCenter
