Suryaa National Desk: Surya Technology & Industry Desk, Visakhapatnam: Among the huge hyperscale data centers being ambitiously built at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh... Surya Technology & Industry Desk, Visakhapatnam: AdaniConnects, a joint venture of Adani Enterprises and EdgeConnects, has decided to implement environmentally friendly revolutionary technology in the ambitious hyperscale data centers being built in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The representatives of the company revealed that the use of fresh water will be significantly reduced by introducing an advanced air-cooling (air-based cooling) system, ending the traditional water-cooling method commonly used in the management of large servers. The main intention behind this decision is to protect the ecological balance in the coastal area of Visakhapatnam and ensure that there is no burden on the local water resources.
Data centers operating on a large scale typically consume millions of liters of fresh water in the form of steam every day to cool the servers. However, the company said that the new air cooling system being installed in the Visakhapatnam project works on the basis of closed-loop circulation, due to which the wastage of water is almost zero. Designed for coastal humidity and temperatures, this unique cooling system helps conserve natural resources while providing the optimum temperature control required for servers to function. This data center project by AdaniConnects is highly strategic as part of its plans to make Visakhapatnam a world-class technology and digital hub.
It will be recognized as a green data center by adding latest air-cooling technology along with renewable energy. Economic and technical experts are analyzing that by providing the state-of-the-art digital infrastructure required for the expansion of local industries and IT sectors without threatening the environment, AP's industrial progress will get a new direction.
