EU code of conduct signed
Thursday, 26 February 2009 00:00

TelecityGroup is the first network independent provider to sign up to the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres.
The EU Code of Conduct is a European-wide voluntary initiative, developed in collaboration with the industry, which promotes energy efficiency performance standards for data centres.

Signatories are expected to implement the Code’s best practice - for example, decommission old servers, reduce the amount of air conditioning used or maximise server usage by running multiple applications – and will be assessed on an annual report of energy consumption.
