the percentage of data centre energy consumption that cooling accounts for( Johnson Controls)
OVHcloud’ s predictive algorithms analyse data from racks, cooling modules and dry coolers, feeding information into a datalake that determines optimal behaviours. Connected to local weather stations, the system injects precisely calculated water volumes into adiabatic cooling pads. Unlike traditional adiabatic systems, OVHcloud’ s design eliminates recirculation loops and the associated pumps, tanks and level sensors, simplifying maintenance whilst reducing complexity.
How Johnson Controls embraces two-phase innovation The evolution towards increasingly efficient closed-loop systems has attracted investment from established building technology leaders.
