are lower, because the electric- ity costs can be reduced by up to 50 percent to 15 cents per kilo- watt-hour.
In addition, the data stored in IT security cabinets is protected against unauthorized access and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) faults. This allows a nearly lossless, multiple connection to other renewable energy producers and the necessary communication networks.
Another strength of WindCORES: companies that use the concept know exactly where their data lies and where their computing processes take place. In addition, a company can network directly with the computing node and data storage in the wind turbine. In addition, it is possible to virtually connect several plants equipped with WindCORES in one wind farm. This allows the data to be scaled as desired and the service availa- bility to be actively con gured via the application layer.
Advantages through WindCORES:
Low operating costs: Why only 15 ct/kWh? The deep, highly secure integration of your IT in our wind parks allows a direct, multiple connection to our power supplier and commu- nication networks. Moreover, we pass on price advantages to our clients. Thus, we can beat market-based prices up to 50%.
Flexible Scalability: Why exi- bility? You use all advantages
of our distributed WindCORES architecture. Determine the physical degree of distribu- tion along racks or Wind- CORES. Individual de nition of scaling and availability – for IT systems or applications – to your need!
Distributed architecture: Why not a traditional building? A high availability is dif cult to reach with a traditional colocation infrastructure. Sus- tainable power supply, needs- based cooling, distributed location and a high degree of ef ciency – all this will be usable for your IT hosting in the WindCORES architecture.
Ef cient Sustainability: What’s our sustainability? We use syn- ergies! Direct energy supply by renewable sources in all WindCORES! Existing, access protected rooms of our rein- forced concrete towers will be upgraded and racks will be additionally secured by safes. All infrastructure elements will be integrated to maximize availability, ef ciency and pro tability.
The rst critical customer of “WindCORES” is the Center for Information and Media Technol- ogies (IMT) of the University of Paderborn. The IMT will carry out a test operation in the wind energy plant in Lichtenau starting from commissioning of computa- tional nodes and data storage in order to determine all important performance values.
