Keeping it cool, sustainably
Since it was awarded a DEEP Gold Certification, Digital Fortress proudly displays their certification plaque on-site to highlight their emphasis on sustainability initiatives, which includes its use of renewable energy from their utility provider, Energy Star-rated IT equipment, flywheel UPS, and, of course, its unique cooling operations.
Digital Fortress's Data Center 1, located in Portland, Oregon, is known for its usage of indirect evaporation cooling and mechanical cooling to assist with its carbon reduction and sustainability initiatives.
