We will continue to review technology and ef昀椀ciencies and deploy where we can, but this has
dependencies on customer equipment,e.g. our Lifecycle Replacement program-LCRP. A position
has been created in the business, working with the VP of Operations, whereby the LCRP examines
technological advances as part of the replacement solution to lower our carbon footprint and
generate further ef昀椀ciencies. KLON-01 and KLON-02 are OCP-Ready, KLON-03 will be focussed
on High Density and HPC, utilising likes of liquid cooling to maintain a lower PUE and reduce its
carbon footprint.
