Data Center

The data center market is no stranger to energy efficiency strategies and in recent years has led by example in the mission critical arena for its commitment to carbon neutrality and achieving a net zero data center ecosystem by 2030.

Even in the face of rapid digital acceleration, where the demand for data is driving unprecedented growth, the data center market is working towards delivering its commitments to purchase 100% carbon-free energy, reuse and repair services, prioritize water conversation, recycle heat and prove energy efficiency by meeting measurable targets.

ABB created this whitepaper that explores five key steps to achieving data center sustainability, with each step containing a wealth of advice and suggestions, including the latest technologies on the market.

This paper reveals how battery energy storage coupled with renewable generation can enable decarbonization and provide alternative revenue streams for data centers. The paper also shows the benefits of moving towards a microgrid-enabled data center comprising of battery energy storage.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are gaining momentum in the data center industry for their emission-free operation, back-up power capabilities, and ability to optimize renewable energy generation as well as enabling the participation to remunerated programs released by grid operators for new ancillary services.

This paper reveals how battery energy storage coupled with renewable generation can enable decarbonization and provide alternative revenue streams for data centers. The paper also shows the benefits of moving towards a microgrid-enabled data center comprising of battery energy storage.

Data centers have embraced sustainability both in design and in operation, making them a force for positive change. Now, more than ever before, customers are seeking out data center providers with a proven record of green credentials, and governments all over the world are moving at pace towards carbon reduction goals and net zero targets.

In support of these efforts, the data center experts at ABB have created this whitepaper, that explores five key steps to achieving data center sustainability.

The current data consumption and processing levels in the world demand the highest level of performance and efficiency from data centers.

Legacy data centers, although functional, struggle to keep up with more up-to-date facilities in meeting these demands, while aging facilities have decommissioning looming over their roofs.

In this paper, we explore the options available for extending the life of a data center while boosting performance in a sustainable manner.

With the rising production and consumption of data, the demand for data centers is increasing.

Colocation data centers that can be developed faster than the conventional build times have an opportunity to realize ROI sooner than ever. But how can data center facilities be built faster than the usual 18 - 24 months?

In this white paper, ABB experts reveal 4 strategies to cut deployment time by up to 50%. This allows operators to meet the growing demands in record time because they deploy faster while upholding a high standard of construction quality.

This whitepaper explores a case study that demonstrates the benefits of a condition-based maintenance strategy. Integrating a condition-based maintenance philosophy to existing preventive maintenance practices can decrease overall total cost of ownership by up to 40% and increase maintenance intervals by up to 30%.

This document provides a reference for how advanced solutions can be used to support the design and implementation of a power distribution and monitoring system for a data center.

The data center industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, and with the increasing application of the Internet of Things, this growth is accelerating rapidly. The global rollout of 5G will put the growth of digital data into overdrive. As a result, there will be a growth of colocation and multi-tenant data centers..

Download this white paper to explore how to make your colocation data center more competitive through standardization and modularization.

Having a highly efficient data center is a very demanding task. Two of the main challenges are building a highly efficient data center, and having the right degree of information coming from measurements to take the correct action. 

This paper discusses monitoring solutions, retrofitting options, and device selection for a more efficient data center design.
