Designing Energy-Efficient Data Centers: Balancing Availability, Sustainability and Operating Costs

Growing data center demand, rising energy costs and increasingly ambitious sustainability targets are creating new challenges in data center design. At the same time, expectations regarding availability and operational reliability remain as high as ever.

Selecting the right cooling concept is therefore one of the key decisions in modern data center design. But which solution is best suited for a specific project? How can energy consumption and operating costs be reduced without compromising availability? And how can sustainability goals be achieved while maintaining economic viability?
