Siemens Delivers AI-Based Cooling Solution for Tier IV Data Center
White space cooling optimization for greenfield data center in the Paris region
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is supplying the first Tier IV-certified data center in the Paris region. The project is funded by French banking institute Caisse des Dépôts and real estate group Idec, with operations scheduled to start in the spring of 2021. In the long term, five more buildings will be added to the project. Siemens was chosen to install the cooling solution to increase the building’s energy efficiency by automatically adjusting the computer rooms’ cooling systems around the clock. The White Space Cooling Optimization (WSCO) solution from Siemens meets the particularly high cooling demands of the data center, leveraging AI to optimize performance. When it comes to sustainability, Thésée aims to achieve a PUE of 1.2.
“We opted for the Siemens solution because it ensures a high level of security and reduces energy consumption and maintenance needs,” said Eric Arbaretaz, CTO, Thésée. “In the long term, this will also extend the life span of the equipment.”
