In the 2014 Brill Awards for Efficient IT, the PT Data Center competed against more than 100 candidates from 19 countries across the various categories covered. The PT Data Center excels in terms of its excellent energy efficiency combined with the rigorous resilience of the infrastructure. These efficiency levels were achieved by the Freecooling system innovation and the modular construction of the Data Center which enabled the optimum use of energy in the installation. The onsite photovoltaic park and the Palmvein biometric access control system have also received awards.
This award is added to the others which the PT Data Center has been awarded since its opening: ‘Best Engineering Project’ and ‘Sustainability Award’ awarded by ‘Prémios Construir’ and ‘Environmental Responsibility Award’ from ‘Exame Informática’. Additionally, the PT Data Center is internationally certified as Tier III by the Uptime Institute.
