    1. “ Innovation around data centers has happened fast, and compared to other business-critical industries like the airlines or the FDA, the data center industry is practically unregulated. But, regulation is going to catch up. ”
      In Top Five Trends for Green Data Centers in 2011
    2. “ This has allowed us to show how we were prepared, and that the volcano did not affect our operation. ”
      In In Iceland, Making Lemonade Out of Ash
    3. “ We are committed to showing the risk threshold is low, while the opportunity is great. ”
      In In Iceland, Making Lemonade Out of Ash
    4. “ There's only a very minute chance that a plume of volcanic matter would affect us. ”
      In Update: Iceland, volcanoes, and data centers
    5. “ With energy costs fluctuating and going up more than down, and data centers consuming a tremendous amount of energy there is a real need in the market for a green innovation solution that reduces energy and drives down overall cost. Data centers have historically required large, expensive chilling systems to keep all of the equipment at a regulated temperature. Now more than ever, companies are scrambling to find ways to reduce dependencies on the status quo and become more energy efficient all around. Iceland is the perfect environment for 100 per cent free cooling, 365 days of the year. The mean annual temperature is -0.5°C (30°F) in January and 10°C (50°F) in July. Iceland is very much its own cooling system, standing by to draw the heat right out the computer servers. ”
