Data centers are critical infrastructures that store, process, and distribute large amounts of data for various purposes. They require high levels of reliability, security, efficiency, and sustainability.

As a northern country, Finland has almost year-round use for waste heat generated by data centers, which can be used locally in district heating systems.
