Rackspace Signs Agreement For Data-Centre With Environmentally Friendly Energy Supply Rackspace® Managed Hosting has signed an agreement with property investment and development group SEGRO (Slough Estates Group) for a data centre with environmentally friendly energy. The new data centre will help to reduce Rackspace's dependency on fossil fuel as well as provide a more efficient way to manage its customers' needs. The site, based in Slough, will provide Rackspace with 65,000 sq foot of net technical space, with the opportunity to design the data centre to its own specifications, factoring in future growth. The data centre is expected to be fully operational in Spring 2008. Slough Heat and Power energy centre will supply the data centre with its required 15 MVA (megavolt-amperes). Slough Heat and Power has recently been converted from running on coal to use clean wood chips and fibre fuel, both renewable biomass energy sources. Material is shredded and converted into small, odourless cubes, which are then combusted to generate electricity, hot water and steam for local businesses and residents.
