Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Toshiba have
developed an advanced cooling technology that will enable data centres to be
more energy efficient, cutting energy bills by one-third.
Researchers are now test-bedding a new data centre that
combines Toshiba’s air cooling technology with NTU’s advanced
info-communications technology (ICT).
The innovative test-bed aims to provide a sustainable
solution for data centres operating in South-East Asia’s tropical climate. This
is done by using cutting-edge modular structure – container-sized modules which
can stand alone or be combined together for more computing power – coupled with
a smart cooling system.
