How Microsoft’s datacenters are empowering communities in Sandviken and Gävle
The challenge
Microsoft needed datacenter infrastructure that could be deployed quickly, operated efficiently and scaled over time – without compromising on safety, quality or sustainability goals. The sites in Sandviken and Gävle are designed to support advanced cloud workloads while minimizing environmental impact and maximizing benefits for local communities.
Our solution: Modular panel systems for efficient datacenters
Rack Panel Systems delivered:
- Modular panel solutions enabling flexible layouts and fast installation.
- High-performance thermal and acoustic properties to support stable, efficient datacenter operation.
- Optimized for energy efficiency, aligning with Microsoft’s targets for low PUE and sustainable operations.
- Scalable design that can be extended or adapted as capacity needs grow.
By combining modular design with carefully engineered insulation and airflow control, our panels help datacenters move towards lower PUE values and more predictable energy consumption.
Impact for Microsoft and the local communities
- Supports Microsoft’s goal of building some of the world’s most sustainable datacenters.
- Provides a reliable, future-ready infrastructure platform for cloud services in the region.
- Contributes to long-term local investments in skills, jobs and community projects, as highlighted in the film.
