Compute more, burn less

We are incredibly honest with you

We’ve built real-time dashboards (below) to show our data center efficiency and conditions, iPUE (Real-time Power Usage Effectiveness), PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) and WUE (Water Usage Effectiveness). Because we’ve always challenged the status quo, we will inform our customers about the environmental impact (energy consumption and estimated carbon emissions) of the products they use at Scaleway. A first in the industry!

We are transparent about how we calculate your environmental footprint

At Scaleway, PUE is not just a marketing term. PUE is PUE, other ways to calculate efficiency should not be called PUE. Contrary to market practices, our PUE is calculated using the International standard ISO/IEC 30134-2:2016, backed by our ISO 50001:2018 certification.

Measurements are taken every five minutes by certified Class 1 or Class 0.2C true-RMS meters as defined by Directive 2004/22/CE (Measuring Instruments Directive).

As defined by ISO/IEC 30134-2:2016:

Our PUE is a category 1 PUE and calculated with the last 12 months’ measurements
Total Energy power consumption (E-DC) is calculated on medium voltage from the national grid
IT Load (E-IT) is calculated on UPS output
Energy consumed by the non-data center equipment (such as offices) is excluded
Real-time values are calculated by the last five minutes’ average measurements and must be considered as i-PUE for information purposes

The environmental footprint of the products* that you use at Scaleway is calculated with the following formula:

Consumption (average) in kW of the product * PUE of the data center * Energy MIX of the data center * Number of hours consumed by clients.

Compute more, waste less

We are transparent about data center efficiency

We are proud to lead the way in recognizing the impact we can play in mitigating climate change by questioning the techniques used to run data centers. Rather than planting trees, we prefer to think outside of the box and innovate where it counts most, at the source.

We leave nothing to chance

We are incredibly honest with you

Real-time data center iPUE

We work hard to maintain extremely efficient data centers, and we use data including PUE to track the performance of our facilities.
