Q . WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO IMPROVE YOUR OPERATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY ?
» At Open19 , we ’ re focused on bringing together all members of the industry – from OEMs to ODMs , plus chip manufacturers , software companies , hosting and cloud providers , data centre operators , and so on – to develop and adopt our specification , which improves the physical form factor of servers and data centre racks .
This specification introduces an industry standard optimised for data centre equipment that runs on 48 volts and uses liquid cooling to dramatically reduce waste , while extending the lifetime and efficiency of critical physical infrastructure
“ I am excited by the challenge , but my hope is that , in 12 months , deploying liquid-cooled , highefficiency servers will be the norm and not the exception in our industry .”
components like sheet metal , power cables , power supplies and more .
At Equinix , we ’ re active in the design and adoption of Open19 and are using this – along with our other sustainability investments in renewable power , data centre efficiency and waste reduction – to reach our net-zero goals and support
