REPLAY | Webinar: Sustainability and Water: Options to Address This Emerging Challenge

This webinar explores low water use cooling system innovations and water management strategies that can help operators navigate the sustainability and reliability implications associated with water use.

 
Air-assisted direct liquid cooling: an overlooked option

Air-assisted direct liquid cooling systems offer trade-offs that make them attractive to operators looking to address server cooling and rack density challenges — and are relatively easy to install and maintain.

Sustainability strategies in colocation

This report analyzes how colocation companies are improving sustainability through innovative approaches to cooling infrastructure, energy efficiency, renewable energy procurement, construction and more.

Strategic siting: colos in central business districts

Siting colocation data centers in central business districts can have real advantages. So why does it happen so rarely? This report, based on interviews with providers, examines the operational challenges, and solutions for overcoming them.
