Key realities surrounding today’s data centers

Our ever-connected data-driven era is very demanding in terms of energy. This reality leads to the increasing demand of green Data Centers. The demand for energy-efficient cooling solutions increases. 

The need for energy-efficient infrastructure is real. Data center vendors have experienced several innovations over the past decade regarding the adoption of efficient infrastructure. Data center servers earlier used to consume around 50-80W, but now, the average power consumed by servers is 350W. 

According to Research and Markets, in terms of IT infrastructure, the adoption of density-optimized server and storage infrastructure is gaining increased traction. 

While great challenges remain when it comes to build green data center, there are many leading organizations in the Americas like Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Intel, and Apple, which already have established data centers that are powered using renewable energy sources.
