“ By moving compute to Iceland , Earlham Institute saves up to 70 % in energy costs and significantly reduces its carbon footprint ”
TATE CANTRELL CTO , VERNE GLOBAL sequencing instruments process hundreds of millions of DNA molecules at a time , and generate vast amounts of data , from a few hundred gigabytes to several terabytes per run ,” Cantrell continues .
“ EI was able to relocate its high intensity compute to Verne Global ’ s Icelandic data centre campus , which is powered by 100 % renewable geothermal and hydroelectric sources , with a year-round temperate climate that allows natural ambient air cooling . By moving its compute to Iceland , EI saves up to 70 % in energy costs and significantly reduces its carbon footprint .”
