Ann: FY2024 Investor Presentation, page-38

Have been reading up on Crusoe as they have a possible deal with KPO coming.

Anyway - what is interesting is that Crusoe say, in the interview below, that there is no need for certain data centres to be tier 4 (obviously on demand DCs need to be). That might actually be helpful for tier 3 data centres, and older ones, and could even allow for utilisation of the solar peak every day in Australia (and wind peaks) at some stage. Will be interesting to see where we go. Australia has volatile energy supplies obviously. This idea seems extremely well suited to Australia - maybe more so than anywhere else including Canada. Might be well suited to DUG.

FYI

Data Center Tier Rating Breakdown: Tier 1, 2, 3, 4​

• Tier 1: A Tier 1 data center has a single path for power and cooling and few, if any, redundant and backup components. It has an expected uptime of 99.671% (28.8 hours of downtime annually).
• Tier 2: A Tier 2 data center has a single path for power and cooling and some redundant and backup components. It has an expected uptime of 99.741% (22 hours of downtime annually).
• Tier 3: A Tier 3 data center has multiple paths for power and cooling and systems in place to update and maintain it without taking it offline. It has an expected uptime of 99.982% (1.6 hours of downtime annually).
• Tier 4: A Tier 4 data center is built to be completely fault-tolerant and has redundancy for every component. It has an expected uptime of 99.995% (26.3 minutes of downtime annually).
