onto the immersed servers creating a closed loop cooling system says a 2021 microsoft blog postefficient designin colocation centres data centre design depends not only on what the colocation provider is bringing but also what their customers are bringing into the data centre i can do my bit at the underlying infrastructure level which means i can do power and power conditioning more efficiently i can do the cooling and lighting more efficiently but the kind of servers and storage customers bring in the kind of power or air flows they have the chips they have will also impact overall efficiency mukhija saysimproved floor loading or floor strength is another growing requirement tapadia says a typical rack of computers that used to consume 23kw of power now consumes 78kw and is likely to go up to 2030kw the compute is becoming more and more dense occupying less space but consuming more power which means your floor load has to be more he saysthe efficiency of the server and storage systems are also a very important part of how sustainable data centres will become over the years and a lot of work is going into this but thats another storytech is helping save vital ecosystemsakash agrawal cofounder ceo sahaj software sahaj is an indian software company times techies had previously written about the role of dell chief technologist aruna kolluru and her team in the great barrier reef projectsahaj software has partnered with citizens of great barrier reef a conservation organisation to develop the technology and software infrastructure necessary to enable the great reef census through collection of images and their analysis the initiative is one of the worlds largest marine citizen science initiatives and aims to fill critical data gaps about the great barrier reef the worlds largest marine ecosystem and mobilise citizens and technology partners to collaborate and provide data to scientists as well as reef managers who can then work together to protect the reef stretching over 2000km and home to a quarter of the worlds marine species australias great barrier reef is a global treasure and a critical marine ecosystem that is under threat due to climate change pollution and other environmental factors before the great reef census as little as 5 of the reef was regularly surveyed leaving significant data gaps as the reef changes yearonyear the census has now collected survey data from 15 of the reefs across the wider great barrier reefgreen line as crucial as bottom line nowkulmeet bawa president md sap indian subcontinentsustainability is the biggest challenge of our generation we are committed to economics bringing planet and profit together through technology we have embedded sustainability across all business processes and along the value chains as a green line in addition to the established top and bottom lines our sustainability solutions portfolio enables seamless tracking measuring and reducing of the carbon footprint across the entire supply chain our vision is that of a shared reality where sustainability is
