In 2017, a group of researchers estimated global data centers could use 25% of the world’s electricity by 2025 1. This is more electricity than any country in the world, including the U.S. You would be happy to hear this prediction is not materializing so far and you might be wondering, ‘how much energy and electricity data centers consume?’ The world’s data centers consume around 200 Terawatt-
If you look back to the last decade and reflect on a few trends that have shaped the data center industry, it is likely you might think about the increase in hyperscale data centers and the rise of cloud. Looking into the decade ahead, the data center industry is still on track to continue its growth pattern. In fact, cloud computing market is estimated to grow by 18% a year within the first three
Question: What do Archimedes, Euler and Isaac Newton have in common? Answer: First, they were all famous mathematicians. Archimedes discovered the law of hydrostatics; Euler is, to date, considered the most successful mathematician of all time; and Newton formulated the law of gravitation. Second, they all spent considerable time working on the mathematical constant known as "pi." But w
This is great news, yet introduces an unexpected challenge. In a given geographical area, newly installed solar and wind capacity will likely be producing electricity at the same time with the existing solar capacity. This can result in excess electricity from renewable sources during a certain time of the day, and no energy being produced when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing. So
