Commerce, education, health care, and entertainment all depend on a stable digital infrastructure and the future of life on this planet requires data centers that can provide this sustainably.
Liquid cooling offers a way to increase heat rejection by 23 times because of the thermal conductivity of water versus air. It also allows cooling systems to extract heat as close to the generation source as possible.
As the data center industry develops and managers implement innovative new approaches that drive energy efficiency, taking action to reduce environmental impact often also leads to cost savings.
Currently, environmental objectives, like reducing total GHG emissions, conflict with the rapid growth of the industry. However, through standardized reporting practices, it’s possible to understand the total scale of this challenge.
Mission critical data center operations typically require significant amounts of water and energy for cooling, and hyperscale server rack power density is expected to double as soon as 2023.
