Too hot to handle (indirect free cooling processes)

Record temperatures in the Nordics are set to pose a threat to indirect free cooling processes, according to Aggreko. And if the temperatures in the UK right now are anything to go by, we can well believe it *melts onto desk.* Recent

Is sustainability causing tension in the data centre space?

Green data centres are a vital element in meeting global net-zero targets, with the Covid-19 pandemic helping to both accelerate digital transformation and bring awareness to these facilities’ green credentials. But do we now find ourselves in a state of sustainability vs

Grand designs: Key considerations

Clinton Noble, sector manager for data centre power solutions at Finning UK & Ireland, outlines the key considerations when designing generator packages for data centre standby power. In November 2020, a telecommunications company unveiled 20 new data centres across the UK as

Blowing the roof off conventional

“A gale of creative economic destruction is blowing the roof off the conventional data centre economic model, revealing something altogether different”, says Alan Beresford, MD of data centre cooling experts EcoCooling. We asked Alan to elaborate upon this rather mysterious statement. There’s

Cooling a hyperscale

With power densities among the hyperscalers continuing to snowball, how do operators go about meeting the cooling challenges of these ever-growing and varied power densities? Phil Smith, construction director UK at Vantage, tells us more. Power densities in the hyperscale data centre

sustainability

Climate change? Sustainability? Just chill

With sustainability now a major differentiator in the data centre market, organisations must find ways to ensure their facility’s carbon footprint is kept to a minimum. With cooling the second largest consumer of power within a data centre, Marc Garner, VP, secure
