The below RFP information is posted on behalf of Compute North.
Background
Compute North is meeting the growing demand for scalable, cost-effective digital infrastructure solutions for highly specialized computing needs. Driven by trusted leaders with deep experience in data centers, technology, and energy; the company is redefining how services are delivered for blockchain cryptocurrency, and other distributed computing applications. With a consistent yet interruptible load profile, Compute North works collaboratively with power providers in support of developing an intelligent grid that relieves congestion, promotes renewables, and strengthens the stability of local power markets.
Compute North owns and operates state-of-the-art TIER 0™ data centers strategically located throughout the U.S. and around the world, specifically designed to make the most of blockchain technology. We pioneered the TIER 0™ concept to serve as a next-generation solution for optimized
distributed computing. Our facilities have been strategically built to scale quickly and operate cost-efficiently, a unique departure from the traditional data center model, allowing our users to scale their operations in a fraction of the time. Backed by a mix of energy sources, cost-competitive infrastructure, and our hands-on expertise, we are helping users maximize their capability in compute intensive applications such as cryptocurrency mining, blockchain, machine learning, and more.
Compute North’s TIER 0™ data centers offer an extremely high load factor – in excess of 95%, and provide opportunities for local utilities and RTO markets to take advantage of our operational flexibility by curtailing up to 100% of our facilities’ load for 200-300 hours per year. Due to our operational flexibility, when sized correctly, our TIER 0™ data centers will help utilities and RTO markets raise their system load factors, while not requiring any additional capacity in order to facilitate our operations. In addition, our TIER 0™ data centers will help to provide an economic boost to the local communities in which we partner with through increased tax revenues and new job opportunities at our facilities.
