Keynote - European TikTok data finds shelter in the cold of the Nordics
Norway's Green Mountain has completed TikTok's first data center building. The facility will be Europe's largest data center powered by renewable energy and a PUE of 1.2. Green Mountain is also working with other industries and researchers to explore the possibility of reusing waste heat from the facility.
The TikTok data center is part of 'Project Clover', an effort by the company to ease national security concerns by storing European user data within Europe and setting a new standard for data security.
In this keynote, Svein Atle Hagaseth, CEO of Green Mountain, gives us an overview of this project, relevant in terms of sustainability and European data protection, and shares their experience.
