So, how can data centers provide more computing power while reducing their carbon footprint?
"The RISE partnership will help us see the bigger picture of sustainability," he said.
"We are creating greenhouses and vertical farming to reuse the heat and analyzing the data from medium-sized data centers."
Other areas for improvement in data centers' environmental performance include making hardware and software more energy efficient, said Tor.
Vertiv and RISE are also members of the E2P2 Tech Consortium, leading low-carbon fuel cell development to power data centers.
