Do you know? The data center is also going to the sky and into the sea.
According to a report on the website of Spain's "Nation" on December 26, the European Union plans to send a data center into space. Although the difficulty is comparable to building a space station, local experts still say that it will be possible in the future.
In fact, in recent years, global computing has grown exponentially. During the construction and operation of data centers, energy expenditures and pollution have continued to surge. Favorable construction sites and efficient and energy-saving cooling models have become the main factors for exploring the construction of data centers. direction. For example, Tencent has expanded the use of renewable energy by purchasing green power such as wind power and photovoltaics; Ali has reduced data center energy consumption through liquid cooling technology and AI applications; Huawei has adopted indirect evaporative cooling technology to make full use of natural cooling sources to save energy.
The European Union focuses on outer space, and the US Microsoft chooses the seabed with natural cold sources. In 2014, Microsoft launched the submarine data center project code-named "Natick", which aims to meet the large demand for cloud computing infrastructure in densely populated areas of the world. In December 2022, the world's first commercial submarine data center entered the offshore installation stage in Sanya, Hainan, and is expected to be put into use in early 2023. Compared with land-based data centers, submarine data centers have the characteristics of effectively saving land, electricity, cost and high reliability. In addition, Microsoft's experimental data shows that the failure rate of data centers operating on the seabed is 1/8 of that on land, showing obvious advantages.
At present, the rise of data has become a new factor of production, playing a fundamental and supporting role in the development of the digital economy. In the future, with the accelerated integration of digital and industry, digital consumption, unmanned driving, intelligent manufacturing, etc. will continue to iterate with products, technologies, and applications. Development is urgent.
According to the "Boao Forum for Asia Sustainable Development: Asia and the World 2022 Annual Report", as of the end of December 2021, there are 136 countries, 115 regions, 235 major cities and 682 of the 2,000 top companies in the world. The goal of carbon neutrality has been formulated, and for this purpose, a green data center construction plan with lower energy consumption is actively explored. This coincides with LR-LINK's corporate development philosophy of "continuous innovation". In the past 16 years, LR-LINK has independently developed and produced more than 60 types of network cards of different specifications in the field of data centers, with atransmission rate of up to 100G. The OCP3.0 series network cards based on Intel master control even support NCSI functions, which greatly To meet the high-density and high-efficiency transmission requirements of new data centers to the maximum. At the same time, the super-strong data transmission stability and system compatibility can effectively reduce the failure rate, and can comprehensively support the high-quality development of the data center industry. It is an ideal network card solution for green, intensive, high-density, and large-scale data centers.
In the context of global carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, various countries and industries have responded positively and taken action. LR-LINK will also strengthen cooperation with industry enterprises, join hands with friends and businesses to continue to innovate, help the comprehensive construction of the "Digital from the East and Computation from the West" project, build a new green computing power system, and contribute to the realization of the "Double Carbon" goal and sustainable development technological power.
To choose a stable and reliable network card solution, please look for the LR-LINK brand.
