Cooling solutions are highly flexible, including air chillers, chilled water, and immersion cooling, with capabilities ranging from 150 W to over 500 W per square foot. The facility utilizes recycled water and free-air cooling, maintaining a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of less than 1.3 on average.

Security and sustainability are also paramount at the Crane Portland Data Center. The site is secured with a perimeter fence, key cards, biometric scanners, and controlled access points, along with 24x7x365 remote hands and security services. Multiple people-trap entries and extensive video recording ensure comprehensive surveillance. The data center is designed with sustainability in mind, using environmentally conscious materials and innovative technologies. It partners with a neighboring water treatment facility to access recycled water for cooling, further enhancing its green credentials.
