3 Foewod Ou Q3 update epot fo 2018 highlights the continued gowth of the data cente industy in Ieland. Geen enegy emains a pioity fo the industy and we have been encouaged ove the pevious quate by the poactive appoach stakeholdes in the enewable enegy secto have taken to ensue Ieland can continue to delive on its enewable enegy commitments. In esponse to a ecent epot by Bainga, Host In Ieland was poud to join seven othe enewable focused oganisations in calling fo the Ministe fo Communications, Climate Change and Envionment to taget 70% enewable enegy fo Ieland by Host In Ieland note the epot in stating it would be possible fo 70% of the industies enegy to be supplied by enewable souces and we emain positive that this will be the case. Just this quate Facebook completed a new facility in Clonee employing 300 full-time wokes. The site consists of two buildings, with one unde constuction and a futhe two undegoing planning pemission. The facility is fully poweed by enewable enegy with Facebook now actively consideing investing diectly into enewable powe to ensue all of its facilities ae self-sustainable. In addition, companies such as Google, Micosoft and Amazon have committed and, in some cases, aleady achieved secuing 100% in enewable enegy souces fo thei data centes in Ieland. We ecognise the stategic need fo Ieland to continue on the path of enewable enegy as a key dive of gowth fo the hosting industy in Ieland and we will continue to suppot policy and initiatives that boost Ieland's enewable capacity. A positive Q.3 outcome fo the data cente industy globally was undescoed with the publication of two ecent epots by popety investment bodies JLL and CBRE with Ieland continuing to see investment momentum incease substantially ove the pevious 12 months. Dublin Meto, when compaed to its Euopean neighbous continues to see gowth fom both expansions of existing maket playes and new entants at a time when competition has neve been highe in the industy. Pat of this success is down to Ieland's cost competitiveness in the constuction of data centes as highlighted by a ecent epot by Tune and Townsend, a global poject management company. With Zuich anking the highest cost to build data centes in EMEA, Dublin Meto anks a comfotable 14th out of 32 cities in tems of build cost, moe competitively placed than London, Amstedam, Copenhagen and Fankfut. The epot also evealed that Dublin Meto anks among the top 5 cities in Euope as a place to host digital assets. In othe developments, the potential to ecoup waste heat fom data centes and distibute it to local homes and business is now being tested in Ieland though a pilot scheme un by South Dublin County Council. The fist distict heating tende in South Dublin will allow low gade waste heat fom a local data cente to be eused fo the fist-time in Ieland. In taking waste and conveting it to enegy, this will ensue data centes contibute to the new cicula economy model. We ecognise that the geenest enegy is enegy that is not used, as pat of ou Q3 update epot we have taken the oppotunity to highlight the continuing efficiency being deliveed by the moden data cente including those in Ieland. This Q3 epot update is a Host in Ieland i epot with technical input and qualification fom Bitpowe ii to examine the oppotunities and isks associated with the digital asset hosting industy in Ieland. By poviding the most timely and accuate update on data cente activity in the Iish maket, we believe that this baseline will act as a useful efeence fo policymakes. This will be beneficial to Ieland as we look to continue ou leadeship in the ceation, etention and expoting of digital poducts fo the long tem.

4 Content of this Update - Q This Q supplement builds on pevious updates to ou Ieland s Data Hosting Industy seies. Enegy Efficient Design Special Fo this update we have pepaed a special analysis of the evolution of enegy efficiency in data centes. Since the fist such facilities began to appea in the 2000 s, efficiency has impoved significantly. We look at the technologies that made this possible and look to the futue fo the next wave of efficiency impovements. Will it be technology impovements o pocesses and management that matte? Ou analysis of past impovements demonstates that the futue will be a mix of systems, pocesses, and technology. We have seen the opening of some new lage facilities in Q3, most notably by Facebook who have gone live at thei Clonee campus. The colocation wholesale model has evolved to help meet the demand of hypescales. Thee have been some national developments aound the enegy system as it adopts to facilitate highe enewable enegy penetations and to meet inceases in demand. We discuss these developments. The enegy use in data centes continues to attact attention acoss all egions in which they opeate. EiGid s ecent Geneation Capacity Statement iii suggests that, by 2027, up to 31% of Ieland s electicity use could be feeding data centes. Ou analysis indicates that today it is aound 6%, but this could double in fou to five yeas. Whee it goes by 2027 depends on a numbe of factos, including uptake of allocated powe. In paticula we take a focused look at methodologies fo efficient design. We assess a new SEAI-suppoted standad (EXEED) aimed at stuctuing how to manage design teams and decision making fo impoved enegy pefomance fom design to opeation. Aleady being adopted by Iish data cente opeatos, this appoach helps delive futuepoofed data cente facilities. We hope this edition povides a useful snapshot of the continued development of Ieland s data Industy as we move towads the end of David McAuley Founde & CEO Bitpowe Ieland s Data Hosting Industy 2018 Q3 Update Page 3

5 Data Maket Developments in Q Thee is now a total of 48 data centes in Ieland, with 540 MW of gid-connected powe capacity. These eside mostly in the Dublin Meto aea. This epesents an incease of 57 MW with the opening of two new facilities. If the smalle, pivate facilities ae excluded, this equates to about 520 MW of cloud and managed sevices capacity. While Hypescale emains the dominant datacente type, with 74% of capacity, the colocation wholesale maket has gown fom almost zeo to 11% in the past 3 yeas. The map on the following page demonstates the clustes of hypescale and colocation facilities. Hp P Hypescale Data Centes Facebook opened thei new data cente facility in Clonee in Septembe Developed ove thity months with moe than 1,000 wokes on site, this new facility is designed to be highly efficient, and thee is moe expansion to come. Micosoft, Amazon, and Google also have opeational facilities in the geate Dublin aea. They all have active expansion plans. Hp W Hp Co Colocation 12% Colo Wholesale 11% Pivate 4% Hypescales 73% Figue 1 - Relative scale of digital hosting types in Ieland in Colocation Wholesale The tend in wholesale-type builds continues, with established colocation povides and new entants submitting plans fo lage facilities capable of suppoting wholesale customes. The K2 Datacentes facility in Ballycoolin commenced opeation in Q3. These facilities ae in the 15 to 25 MW scale ange. Pivate Data Centes This secto accounts fo smalle facilities not explicitly leasingout space in thei buildings. They povide intenet sevices fo business and have a egional spead. We ae unawae of any significant constuction gowth in this this quate, though dedicated facilities ae likely to appea in the nea futue to suppot new technology innovations. Remains at 20 MW total. Colocation Data Centes Colocation povide the glue to hold the clustes togethe. In 2018, Digital Realty commenced constuction of thei new facility at Pofile Pak. Equinix eceived planning pemission fo a new facility in Blanchadstown. Keppel DC continue to upgade thei Pakwest site, and InteXion have been ganted planning pemission fo thei fouth Dublin facility, having only ecently opened thei thid.

7 Poweing the Data Industy Sustainably In 2017, 29% of Ieland s gid electicity was geneated fom enewable souces, 51% fom natual gas, and 20% fo othe non-enewable souces, as shown in Figue 2. Coal 12% Othe 1% Peat 7% Gas 51% Renewables 29% facilitate local community investment in such pojects. The biggest investment potential will come fom lage copoates, and in paticula, data cente opeatos. The data industy at an intenational level ae keen to buy only enewable enegy, as stated in thei copoate goals vii. Ieland needs to ensue that these tagets and policies ae compatible with copoate enegy pocuement equiements. Ieland s policymakes have ecognised that the oppotunity will depend on ensuing investo confidence in enewable enegy by steamlining the policy aangements viii. Figue 2 - Ieland's electicity souces in Souce - EiGid. The taget of 40% enewable electicity by 2020 is likely to be achieved. The new taget fo 2030 is unde discussion with an open consultation by the depatment of Enegy (DCCAE) open until ealy Novembe iv. The baseline scenaio fo the poposed taget indicates a possible taget of 55% enewable electicity by see Figue 3. Renewable enegy industy associations such as the Iish Wind Enegy Association have identified that an ambitions taget of 70% enewable electicity by 2030 is technically and economically feasible with appopiate policy measues v. These tagets will equie a lage amount of investment. The new Renewable Enegy Suppot Scheme vi was announced by govenment with full details and auctions fo supply of the next tanche of enewable geneation to begin in The scheme is somewhat technology agnostic, and will be capable of suppoting wind and sola PV and othe viable technologies as thei cost cuves matue. Thee will also be a equiement to Figue 3 - Renewable enegy tagets. Thee is also a tend towads non-gid deliveed powe, typically using the natual gas netwok. The gas gid opeato GNI is tageting 20% enewable gas acoss the gas system by 2030 ix. The fist biogas injection facility in Ieland is due to open in Renewable enegy supply foms an impotant pat of the solution to climate change. Efficient use of enegy is the othe aspect. Clealy both ae needed. In the following section we examine the evolution of enegy efficiency and look to the futue fo the next innovation. Ieland s Data Hosting Industy 2018 Q3 Update Page 6

9 Efficiency tends fo Data Hosting Enegy Efficiency Data cente efficiency has evolved to the point that the vast majoity of powe input actually gets to the seves and othe IT equipment. Compaed to a decade ago, this is a significant impovement. Savings can also be attibuted to impovements in compute technology, and to changes in how data centes ae designed. An economy (o efficiency) of scale is also evident in entepises moving towads the cloud, athe than building smalle in-house seve ooms. Most efficiency impovements ae incemental, but some ideas may epesent a leap. The key innovations ae exploed in ou new infogaphic How to build an efficient Data Cente on the pevious page, with the details discussed below. Vitualisation As entepise IT moved towads outsouced facilities, technologies emeged to optimise the use of seves fo IT wokloads. This meant that each new application in a business no longe equied a new set of seves and stoage. Resouces could be shaed seamlessly in a vitual way. This has evolved to cove a boad ange of esouce shaing and was pobably the genesis of the colocation data cente business model and the concept of the cloud. PuE Metic It s a bit clunky, and often misintepeted, but PuE emains the ecognised way to benchmak the enegy pefomance of a data cente. It quantifies the elative powe needed to powe and cool the IT equipment. The focus on PuE has helped designes and opeatos to continuously impove the efficiency of thei data centes. Ten yeas ago, PuE values of 2.8 wee common, meaning only 35% of the powe feeding the facility was fo IT, the emainde being used fo powe conditioning, UPS, and cooling. In Ieland today, PuE values of 1.15 ae moe common. Such facilities delive up to 87% of the total powe to the IT equipment. See Figue 4. Figue 4 - Impovements in PuE. Hot Aisle Containment Figue 5 - Hot aisle containment The pinciple of peventing the hot ai leaving a seve to mix with the inlet ai seems obvious, but managing the aiflow equies caeful design and contol. Fotunately this is now standad design. Lage data centes no longe use aised floo setups and have simplified the path the ai has to take, educing esistance, and fan powe equied. Wide opeating tempeatue anges fo IT equipment such as the ASHRAE standads ensue that data cente opeatos don t need to ove-cool thei data centes in ode fo thei equipment to emain in waantee. Ieland s Data Hosting Industy 2018 Q3 Update Page 8

10 Entepise Savings The tend out of the entepise and into the cloud / managed sevice ecosystem continues. Economies of scale and quality sevice offeings will eventually put all the data into the hands of efficiency-awae opeatos x. Accoding to Gatne & Equinix: By 2025, 80% of entepises will have shut down thei taditional data cente, vesus 10% today Fee Ai Cooling Why install chilles? Opeatos began to ealise that in some egions, outside ai was plenty cool enough to emove heat fom seves. Augmented with adiabatic cooling (effectively a wate showe to cool the inlet ai), this solution has poven itself in Ieland to now be the standad design. This solution woks paticulaly well when the aiflow within the white space (IT Space) is caefully managed. Seve Efficiency It s difficult to demonstate the output of IT systems in tems of enegy, but newe seves could pocess multiple times moe pe unit of enegy input. In 2018, the EU EcoDesign Diective poposed stingent new standads on seve efficiency based on powe use at a ange of utilisation anges (idle). Thee has been some discussion amongst industy expets as to the benefits of such an appoach. We await the final outcome. Gid Sevices The electicity gid evolves towads using moe vaiable enewable enegy souces. In 2018, the Iish gid eached enewable enegy penetation levels of up to 65% (in a 24-hou peiod). Data centes can help impove gid efficiency by shifting demand o by unning back-up systems fo the benefit of the gid (and get paid fo it). The data cente business model is based on availability of powe at an instant, hence ove-povisioning of powe capacity is nomal. Until the enegy and data systems can find a compomise solution, we will continue to have gid challenges. This is not unique to Ieland, and is evident in othe fast gowing data locations. On-Site Geneation Also called self-geneation. In ode to elieve pessue on the electical infastuctue, many opeatos have begun to invest in on-site powe geneation facilities using natual gas. This can be a tempoay o a long-tem stategy. A hybid of gas and gid electicity pesents cost optimisation oppotunities (and challenges). It also avoids the 8% national gid tansmission losses. If a pactical use fo the waste heat fom geneation can be ealistically applied, these could become the most efficient data centes. Futhe into the futue, fuel cells poweed by gas may be pactical, offeing efficiencies of 65% compaed to the 45% available fom gas engines. Distict Heating We posed some eseach challenges fo Distict Heating in ou Q2 Update xi. In 2018, South Dublin County Council published a tende fo the constuction of a distict heating netwok. Othes will likely follow. Fo those geneating on-site thee may finally be a facility to ecycle waste heat. Recycling waste heat is ecognised by the EU as a enewable enegy esouce, thus impoving the sustainability cedentials of geneatos. Waste heat ecovey fom seves is not pactical due to the low gade natue of the heat, and the cost of upgading that heat into a useful esouce. Ieland s Data Hosting Industy 2018 Q3 Update Page 9

11 Solid State Dives Using vey low powe and pactically zeo powe in idle means these stoage devices could dastically impove the efficiency of a data cente. A two tie solution is emeging, which uses SSDs fo high-speed equiements and egula had dives fo backup. xii Battey Technology Taditional battey aangements equied battey oom cooling. The move fom leadacid batteies to Lithium-Ion and othe technologies means moe efficiency and less cooling load. Bette management of backup powe also helps. Atificial Intelligence The futue? Google and othes aleady utilise AI to help thei powe management systems to lean and adapt to changes in conditions, theeby optimising powe. Machine-leaning algoithms ae now adjusting cooling-plant settings automatically, in eal-time, on a continuous basis. xiii Imagine a system that continuously monitos conditions and wokloads, and can make and implement decisions that optimise enegy use. This is not a static stategy like a taditional building management system, athe it is one that can change as the data cente changes. This ovecomes the Achilles heel of building management stategies. Open Compute Poject Rethinking the seve and ack aangements, the open compute poject offes moe seviceability, impoved aiflow within acks, optimised powe convesion, and in-ack batteies, togethe yielding significant enegy savings. It does this by emoving unnecessay seve pots such as mouse and keyboad connections, eplacing powe cables with a simple buzz-ba deliveing low voltage powe to emove the need fo in-seve ac/dc convesion, inceasing fan size fo lowe speeds and theefoe powe, and othe changes. OpenCompute has been adopted by Facebook acoss thei Clonee campus xiv. Liquid Cooling Ai cooling has been the tusted standad fo decades. But ai isn t the best heat tansfe medium. Wate can cay 3,000 times the heat enegy that ai can, so why not use wate instead? Obviously wate and electicity don t mix, but new non-conductive liquids unde development (by 3M, fo example) will allow fo total submegence of seves in liquids. The could educe the space and cooling equiements fo data cantes by a facto of ten o moe. Design Thinking Design is eveything. Evey data cente company evolves it s design solutions ove time. Consistency and modulaity ae impotant fo seviceability and saleability. Thee s now a govenment-backed scheme (SEAI EXEED xv ) to help companies adopt a systematic appoach to efficient design. This appoach diectly complements the ISO enegy management standad and foces designes to think about things like opeational flexibility when making design decisions. We exploe this in detail late. Offshoe Pods Seems cazy floating pods that house mini data centes located offshoe. Thee ae some big advantages most populations live nea the coast, so deployment is simplified. Connectivity today is via subsea cables aleady. They could be easily poweed by offshoe enewable enegy. Cooling and secuity conditions offe othe advantages. Micosoft have deployed a test pod off the coast of Scotland xvi. Ieland s Data Hosting Industy 2018 Q3 Update Page 10

12 Excellence in Enegy Efficient Design - EXEED We take a look at the new pocess being applied to help dive futhe efficiencies in data cente design. As we have exploed, the efficiency of data centes has evolved and impoved ove the past decade. Most facilities aleady implement the majo innovations in thei designs. How can data cente developes identify and evaluate futhe innovations to ensue continuous impovement? Excellence in Enegy Efficient Design SEAI ecently launched a suppot scheme fo efficient design based on an ISO-type standad which is compatible with the ISO50001 enegy management standad. The scheme, named the EXEED cetified pogam, includes gant suppots xvii fo implementation in the design pocess and capital suppots fo the esulting technology adoption. The essence of the appoach is to define and undestand the enegy sevice what sevice does enegy delive? In the case of a data cente, the sevice might be defined as to pocess data in a secue, eliable and efficient manne. Eveything else then builds on that pemise. A check-list of questions ae applied though the pocess to help captue all elevant aspects of enegy and sustainability. The methodology can be applied to new facilities, those undegoing upgades, o even be isolated to just a paticula asset. Appoach and Benefits The new pocess fo design includes defined activities such as Design fo Enegy Pefomance and Design fo Enegy Management. See page 13. Not only do these ensue that decision making in the design pocess is tied to enegy efficiency, but also that these decisions can be caied though the tendeing and constuction stages. Monitoing and veification plans can be established ealy and consideation is given to impoving shot-tem pefomance while amping-up in the fist yeas of opeation. This is paticulaly elevant to data cente facilities whee steady state conditions take time to appea in eal-wold opeation. Enegy Model Analysis Building a model of enegy consumption ahead of time (the enegy balance study) has benefits in helping the design team to evaluate ideas. It may begin, fo example, with the high-level enegy flows identified in ou How to Build an Efficient Datacente infogaphic shown on page 8 of this epot. Woking to challenge decisions and analyse potential impovements, design teams can ensue that thei efficiency ideas, even if not feasible today, can be documented fo esuection on futue pojects. It also allows fo copoate design guidelines to be applied and even updated if the esults show cooboated efficiency gains. Othe aspects, such pefomance deteioation paametes can be established and communicated to the opeation team. If clealy documented, the communication of elevant infomation though to the opeato should make thei job much easie the poject summay epot facilitates handove of the building with all the suppoting assumptions. If things change, the opeato knows what to look out fo. Gant Suppot Cetifications ae available though the scheme at diffeent stages (EXEED Designed, Veified, and Managed), allowing the data cente to display its geen design cedentials. Gant suppots ae available to help achieve these levels. Othe elated schemes may in the futue equie cetification fo eligibility.
