Eco-friendly Mobile Data Centre modules enhance efficiency and business continuity
As part of its ongoing digital transformation drive, Abu Dhabi Ports has launched the Smart Container Initiative that will house its digital solutions in a resilient, safe and optimized eco-friendly mobile environment.
Powered by clean energy, the solar-panelled steel and aluminium smart container uses environmentally friendly technologies such as in-row cooling, renewable energy and efficient space allocation that will reduce Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) by more than 20 percent and will slash carbon emissions by half.
The prefabricated containerized data centre runs a wide range of mission-critical applications, including port and terminal operation systems, visitor passes, and other digital customer services.
“Abu Dhabi Ports’ Smart Container Initiative reflects our commitment to devise and accelerate sustainable eco-friendly digital transformation solutions and in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) put forward by the United Nations,” affirmed Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, CEP, Abu Dhabi Ports Group.
“Adding value across our port operations while maintaining the highest safety standards for our data is imperative in creating a successful streamlined service,” remarked Dr Noura Al Dhaheri, Head of Digital Cluster and CEO, Maqta Gateway, Abu Dhabi Ports.
A crucial element in Abu Dhabi Port’s digitization success lies in its ability to offer differentiation through hybrid cloud architecture. Its adaptation enables Abu Dhabi Ports to respond faster to digital demands, control costs and provide more competitive pricing to its customers.
