With as much as 40% of an average data centre’s energy consumption attributable to cooling, there is a clear need for more efficient heat transfer technology when aiming to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Access to data has become more crucial than ever, leading some to label a broadband connection as the fourth utility.
