A data center. The industry is about to be hit with a "wave of data tsunami," said Merima Dzanic, head of strategy and operations at the Danish Data Center Industry Association. A "whole different approach to how we build, design and operate data centers," is required, Dzanic added. Eco launchASCEND's goal was to explore the potential and comparative environmental impact of space-based data centers to aid Europe in becoming carbon-neutral by 2050. Yet Dzanic warned the somewhat "fringe" idea of space-based data centers doesn't fully solve the issue of sustainable energy usage.

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.
In the data center world, there are already 2.9 gigawatts of new data center capacity currently under construction. To slow the environmental effects of this growth, critical infrastructure providers are working with greater urgency to develop high-performing products and solutions that use less water and more renewable energy. While our industry has made significant strides in recent years to improve the energy efficiency of data centers, the work is far from over. Better product design for more purpose-driven resultsTo address the challenge of enabling data center growth with less energy consumption, Vertiv has worked to improve its internal operations to deliver solutions that help contribute to customer goals in these areas. The path toward a more efficient data center will require much more than customer-manufacturer interactions.
