Cities of Tomorrow with Wandrille Doucerain – A conversation around sustainable data centres
Whilst the growth of data centres has skyrocketed since the pandemic, they are large consumers of energy requiring non-stop energy to both run 24/7 and continuously cool their systems. But despite the challenges, can data centres hope to one day become truly ‘green’? What are some of the big changes in sustainable data policies, and […]
From burden to benefit: making green data centres a reality
In the past, ‘green’ was hardly associated with data centres. However, in recent times, data centres have become an increasingly useful driver in the decarbonization of the energy grid. They’re also decarbonizing their assets via heat reuse and those of the communities they’re in through innovative district cooling and heating projects. What is a green data centre? […]
Decarbonization: An economical approach to data centre design
Data centres currently rely on local or national power grids for electricity. Should an outage occur, they would require backup power. As they cannot afford to suffer power interruptions, data centres have invested in their onsite Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. Those energy assets have been and still are a real burden from an economic […]
