EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In January 2011, KeTTHA officially launched its data centre showcasing an energy efficient design.
In contrast to the KeTTHAs previous generation data centre, the new Green Data Centre has demonstrated an
increased energy efficiency of more than 60 percent.
In view of the above, KeTTHA requested MGTC to explore initiatives that could further replicate KeTTHAs Green
Data Centre success story to other Ministries and Government agencies.
