Liquid cooling is a method of cooling data center equipment using a water-based cooling system, rather than air-based cooling. Liquid cooling can be used to cool both the data center itself and the individual components within it, such as servers, storage systems, and networking equipment. Liquid cooling is more effective than air cooling at removing … Read more
A dark data center is a data center that has been decommissioned or is no longer in use. The term can also refer to a data center that is not connected to the internet or that is not fully operational. What is dark data examples? Dark data is data that organizations collect and store but … Read more
A carbon-negative data center is a data center that not only reduces its own carbon footprint, but also offsets the carbon emissions of other data centers. To offset their emissions, carbon-negative data centers purchase carbon credits or invest in carbon-reduction projects. How much CO2 do data centers emit? Data centers emit a considerable amount of … Read more
Adiabatic cooling is a process of cooling air using evaporative cooling. In this process, water is sprayed into the air, and as the water evaporates, it cools the air. Adiabatic cooling can be used to cool data center equipment, and can be particularly effective in data centers that are located in hot, dry climates. What … Read more
