METROBLOKS
“ In an era where environmental responsibility is crucial, Metrobloks ensures that the high-density workloads can be managed sustainably without compromising performance. We are looking at everything we build being LEED or BREEAM certified to emphasise that sustainability. Additionally, wherever and whenever possible we look to capture rejected heat and reuse and recycle it so the local community can benefit from it.”
The company is seeking to provide a positive impact to urban communities by increasing access to HPC at scale. Part of this strategy is by revitalising brownfield sites, which involves recycling real estate assets into data centres.
“ From a carbon emissions footprint perspective, the best thing we can hope to do is to give existing assets, industrial land in urban areas or brownfield sites a second life,” Ernest says.“ Our primary focus is to make sure Metrobloks stays true to its ethos and its go-to market strategy, whilst continuing to innovate to make sure the data centre infrastructure we bring to market staves off obsolescence for as long as possible.
“ Sustainability and innovation go hand in hand. To claim being sustainable, you must continue to innovate. The last thing we want to do is bring something to market that won’ t have a long runway. So that requires a long term innovative mindset and that to me is really what’ s most sustainable.”
