Microsoft DUB14 is one of two two-storey data centres, with DUB15, at the west end of Microsoft's Grange Castle campus in Clondalkin, west Dublin. They sit west of DUB09, DUB10, DUB12 and DUB13.
Microsoft won permission for both buildings in May 2021. DUB14 covers 28,072 m² (302,100 sq ft) and holds five data halls. Microsoft took over the admin block and the first data hall on 24 July 2023, and the other halls followed. A 3,520 m² Gateway administration building at the business park entrance serves the whole campus.
Rooftop air handling units cool the data halls with outside air. Evaporative cooling, fed by recycled rainwater, runs only above about 24°C.
ESB Networks serves DUB14 and DUB15 through the campus substation, extended with three 110 kV/20 kV transformers, and ESB's Corkagh 110 kV station. EirGrid operates the transmission system. No behind-the-meter generation serves DUB14.
Twenty-one standby generators back up the data halls. They were the first on the campus commissioned on hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) rather than diesel.
Microsoft runs twelve data centres at Grange Castle, from DUB03 (2009) to DUB15, plus the stand-alone DUB11.

Microsoft uses Containers (called ITPACs) to build out its data centers. These Containers are Shipping Containers fitted with all the necessary climate control, networking, server racks and other hardware necessary to be a “mini” data center all in one.
An Azure region is a set of data centers deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network.
With more global regions than any other cloud provider, Azure gives customers the flexibility to deploy applications where they need to. Azure is generally available in 46 regions around the world, with plans announced for 8 additional regions.
An Azure geography is a discrete market, typically containing two or more regions, that preserves data residency and compliance boundaries.
Geographies allow customers with specific data-residency and compliance needs to keep their data and applications close. Geographies are fault-tolerant to withstand complete region failure through their connection to our dedicated high-capacity networking infrastructure.
Availability Zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region. Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.
Availability Zones allow customers to run mission-critical applications with high availability and low-latency replication.
