What happens when you increase your data center's working temperature by an average of 5 ℃?

What would happen if the world's data centers increased working temperatures by an average of 5 ℃? This is a problem that was raised during the recent communication meeting of the Intel High Temperature Environment Data center solution.

According to Intel's data, the results are startling: 2.16 billion dollars a year of energy savings can be achieved immediately; Global data center power is reduced by 8%; it can save 24.3 billion degrees of electricity, roughly equivalent to Spain, South Africa, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/ Aggregation/14583.html "> in Australia or Taiwan over one months of total power consumption; Carbon dioxide emissions are equal to 1.7 million tonnes, which is equivalent to the carbon dioxide that 4.3 million trees absorb in the 10.

Nearly 80% of data centers are now operating at low temperatures between 18-21 ℃, while Sun's observations show that data center temperatures can save up to 4% per 1 ℃ of energy costs for cooling equipment. With the spread of cloud computing and the explosive growth of mobile data, we are facing a problem of fast-rising electricity consumption that is hard to support.

With this in view, Intel provides a complete set of technical solutions from a single transistor level to the processor, server platform, data center, and power grid to address this energy challenge. This includes Intel's range of innovative technologies, including Intel Smart Power Node manager, Intel Data Center Manager, high temperature ambient temperature (HTA) data center, and a number of futuristic technologies such as power and thermal Awareness Dispatch (PTAS) and Intel Server battery backup solutions.

We know that 40% of the total power consumption in the datacenter is cooled by cooling the buildings and services to 18-21 ℃, which is mainly selected for traditional equipment. The introduction of Intel's new technology platform components is better suited to higher operating temperatures.

For data centers that support higher operating temperatures to reduce cooling costs and improve energy efficiency, Intel is actively leading and promoting the formation of high temperature data center specifications within the Green Grid Alliance, the European Union, the American Institute of Heating, Refrigeration and air conditioning engineers, and other organizations.
