Asia Pacific Green Data Center Farm


Description

Data centers globally pose a major environmental threat. The 8,000,000 private, commercial and government data centers constitute 1.6 billion square feet of usable space with an annual carbon footprint of 1.2 billion metric tonnes of CO2. Data centers contributed 3.3% of the world’s carbon emissions in 2014.
The Asia Pacific Green Data Center Farm is a next generation green data center park utilizing super energy efficient cooling equipment and ICT equipment. The Eco2 technology submerses servers, switches and routers in a revolutionary coolant. This reduces carbon emissions and energy consumption by 50%. The cost of deployment is also 70% less.
