This most efficient data center in Kentucky is equipped with high-efficiency cooling systems, high-density servers to increase computer power per square foot to cut the size of the data centre floor in half compared to its previous size.

Alan Kocsi, chief information officer, General Electric Appliances & Lighting, said that, “As GE invests in the business and creates more manufacturing jobs in the U.S., our new high-efficiency data centre will help us manage energy costs so we can compete in a global marketplace. General Electric’s new data centre will also provide the high-density computing necessary to support global business growth and significant manufacturing-revitalization efforts that will provide customers with innovative technologies, high-quality products, and better customer service”.
