How Data Centers Lead to a Cleaner Environment?
Whether in-house or outsourced, data centers work basically the same way, providing a centralized place from which to manage servers, networks and other computer components. The greatest impact data centers have on the environment is energy conservation.
While they require both interconnection and cooling energy, their consumption is much less than that of individual servers spread across a given area. This is because they mostly use fiber, which requires less energy to transmit the same amount of data as a copper cable (like SFP+ DAC Twinax Cables) of the same dimension.
Fiber is also faster, transmitting a large volume of data over a short period of time. This ensures transmission of the same amount of data individual copper cables would transmit, but within a shorter period of time and using much less energy. This process may appear simple enough but it does have serious effects on the environment when mismanaged.
Every process performed across a network in the workplace, be it sending an email, chatting clients, making VOIP calls, paying bills or loading a web page, requires energy. Unless all these processes are streamlined as in a data center and managed from a central point, energy consumption will remain high.
When redirected to a single fiber network, consumption goes down by as much as 85%. Data center equipment comes in huge racks. Again because of the high-density property of the connecting components used, a single rack is able to accommodate a much higher number of electronic ports. This leads to only a few racks being used in a single data center.
This reduces the surface area within which energy circulates, thus leading to less consumption. Demand for data center systems grows very fast, necessitating greater storage space, bandwidth and higher speeds. Rather than keep buying new, larger equipment and dumping the old, data center managers are opting for efficient equipment instead, which can accommodate the growing demand without causing harm to the environment.
The same goes for cooling systems. We now have innovative HVAC systems for data centers, which are more energy efficient than any other cooling mechanism in operation. When equipment gets obsolete in a data center, it is no longer part of the network. Leaving such equipment on even when it is disconnected from the network is not an option in the data center for two main reasons:
1) It will continue giving off heat, thus overworking the cooling system leading to more energy consumption.
2) Keeping such equipment in the room would lead to congestion, again leading to overworking the cooling system.
Such equipment is completely turned off to conserve power and taken away for recycling. Recycling means it won’t add to the piles of landfills. Remember that this equipment is not out of order in any way; it simply gets too small or slow for the data center and would run perfectly well in a different setting.
Overall, the networking and cooling energy levels in data centers are low. When energy consumption is low, the carbon foot print is equally low and the environment cleaner.
