Sustainable Data Center
Data centers are a fundamental pillar of the modern economy and crucial for continued technological advancements. However, our environment is feeling the strain of the exponential increase in the number of data centers. The establishment of new data centers is increasing the pressure on natural resources. The same applies to the electricity consumption associated with running them. Forecasts indicate that data centers will emit between 200 and 250 megatons of CO2 and could account for one fifth of global electricity demand by 2025. The German government is aiming for climate-neutral data centers by 2027.
WHAT ARE THE FUTURE CHALLENGES?
Data centers that are designed and built today must take account of technological and economic developments in the coming years:
- Modularized design and construction of data centers
- Implementation of the circular economy
- Reduction in electricity distribution losses
- due, in part, to increases in electricity prices
- Increasing IT energy requirements lead to even higher efficiency requirements
- Consideration of sustainability criteria (e.g. refrigerants)
- Utilization of environmental heat sources and heat sinks (waste heat)
- Moving away from diesel power generation
- Use of e-fuels
- Increased use of batteries
- Use of hydrogen
WE PROVIDE THESE SERVICES FOR YOU
- Sustainable modular data centers that combine modular container construction with conventional realization (the best of both worlds). The use of production lines promotes ecological construction with a significantly lower carbon footprint.
- Strategic optimization of data center design
- Leveraging synergies at the level of components, units and systems as part of a holistic concept including the surrounding infrastructure and neighboring trades and parties (networked neighborhood concept)
- Implementing an intelligent energy management system for permanent operational improvements, based on monitoring and analysis strategies for greater energy efficiency and more renewable sources
HOW YOU BENEFIT FROM THESE VALUE PROPOSITIONS
Firstly: environmental protection and cost-effectiveness. Sophisticated energy concepts, intelligent utilization of synergies, and integration into the respective district planning enable our experts to ensure that you can operate your data center not only in an environmentally friendly but also economically sustainable manner.
Secondly: customized instead of standardized. Our team will respond to your individual requirements – because standardized solutions are generally not the best.
Thirdly: continuity. We guarantee the security, availability, and data flows within your company or data center throughout the entire duration of the project.
