DCU Future-ready infrastructure: built for AI, optimised for sustainability

AI requires scalable, powerful infrastructure

AI is no longer a thing of the future. It has become an indispensable building block in modern IT environments – from intelligent automation to predictive analytics and generative applications. But the complexity and computing power involved place unprecedented demands on the underlying infrastructure. According to the International Energy Agency, global electricity consumption by data centres will more than double within five years, with AI being the main driver of this increase.

Datacenter United is responding to this with high-density and future-ready colocation solutions. Our data centres support heavy GPU-based workloads thanks to powerful cooling technologies such as liquid cooling and advanced free-air systems. The redundant 2N+1 power supply ensures constant availability, even under peak loads. And thanks to carrier-neutral multi-cloud connectivity, you can easily integrate with hyperscalers such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

For IT integrators, this means no compromises between speed, scalability and availability – and complete control over your architecture.

ESG as a requirement, not an option

Sustainability has become an integral part of IT tenders, procurement processes and investment criteria. Organisations in sectors such as healthcare, finance and biotech will only work with IT partners who have taken demonstrable steps towards CO₂ reduction, energy efficiency and responsible data processing. As an IT integrator, you are at the heart of that chain – and your suppliers play a key role in it.

At Datacenter United, sustainability is central to our infrastructure vision:

• All our data centres run on 100% renewable energy.
• We have our own solar park with a capacity of 3,500Wp.
• We use residual heat wherever possible.
• Our PUE values are among the lowest on the market (<1.2) – a direct saving on energy costs and a powerful ESG message to your customers.
• We make our performance measurable through transparent reporting based on Ecovadis and Greenly, among others. This allows you, as an integrator, not only to comply with sustainability, but also to demonstrate it.

Grow smarter, grow greener

Innovation and sustainability are not mutually exclusive – provided you choose the right infrastructure. Our data centres are modular and scalable, allowing you to grow capacity in line with your customers' success. At the same time, you benefit from energy-efficient solutions that optimise consumption and reduce operating costs.

For IT integrators, this is a double win: you offer powerful technology that is ready for AI, and you help customers achieve their sustainability goals faster. This strengthens your proposition in RFP processes and accelerates the transition to an as-a-service business model with lower overheads.

With Datacenter United, you are choosing a partner that not only helps you with technical implementation, but also with strategic positioning vis-à-vis your customers.

The new generation of IT infrastructure must be flexible enough for AI, but also robust and efficient to enable sustainable growth. At Datacenter United, we combine high-performance technology with a responsible footprint, so that you, as an IT integrator, can prepare your customers for a future in which innovation and ESG go hand in hand.
