Sustainability has been at the heart of the Merlin project all the way from location selection, design and construction, through to the day-to-day operation of the site. Among Merlins key sustainability achievements are:
-An expected PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of 1.10
-Built to LEED standard an independent and internationally recognized green building accreditation.
-A fresh air cooling system that delivers 80% savings in run costs and produces up to 50% less carbon emissions
-Power savings of 91% compared to an industry average data center (with a PUE of 2.5)
-The elimination of batteries in the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) thanks to the application of innovative flywheel technology.

Leveraging Cloud Computing for a More Integrated IT Architecture

IT estates can include bespoke legacy systems through to off-the-shelf productivity solutions.
Increasingly, cloud-based solutions are being considered as part of this picture.

At Capgemini, we do not believe cloud is the answer to every question. However, our extensive experience in introducing our clients to cloud technologies and our status as first service provider to bring public cloud services to the enterprise space has shown us that cloud computing is sufficiently mature to be adopted as an extension of, not replacement for, existing delivery platforms.

In practical terms, we envisage a Compute Continuum that runs from proprietary, discrete assets dedicated to a specific function, through the emergence and adoption of best practice in estate management, virtualization, consolidation
