Customer demands, regulation and the outcry against GHG emissions may make a switch from diesel standby to gas generation a timely move for data centres. (Page 51)

Emerging energy storage technologies signal radical changes for data centre power. Ed Ansett, Founder and Chairman, i₃ Solutions Group, discusses the future of the data centre industry with a focus on data centre energy storage developments and emerging technologies.

Natural Gas (NG) generators are becoming cost competitive with diesel generators and have a better greenhouse gas emission profile

Ireland’s data centre sector is uniquely positioned to lead the world in sustainable power, Ed Ansett, founder and chairman at i₃ Solutions Group explains how.

Experts at i₃ Solutions break down the ever-evolving context surrounging data centre energy storage solutions.

In the drive for Green House Gas abatement and net zero operation, every energy storage option at source, grid, switch, battery, UPS and generator back up in data centres is changing.

What’s the answer to the power over-provisioned data centre? and which is the bigger opportunity? As peak demands rise, a risk averse approach can result in upwards of 40% of drawn power being stranded in the layers of data centre redundancy.

i₃ Solutions Group and EYP Mission Critical Facilities GHG Abatement Group Second White Paper details why we need standby power and why natural gas blended with hydrogen could be the fuel of choice for the next decade.

Ed Ansett, Co-Founder and Chariman of i₃ Solutions Group, discuesses the position of SaaS providers who act as both customer and supplier. He explores whether power use is rishing up the agenda for SaaS companies and their customers and asks if not, why not?

Wherever generative AI is deployed, it will change the IT ecosystem within the data centre. From processing to memory, networking to storage, and systems architecture to systems management, no layer of the IT stack will remain unaffected.

With the importance of data centres and supporting digital infrastructure growing ever-increasingly important — and demands on them growing at a similar rate. Data Centre Magazine compiles a list of the top 10, and we make the list at number 9!

Two of Africa’s biggest economies suffer regular power grid blackouts. South Africa continues to grapple with a formidable energy challenge caused by a strained and unreliable power grid prone to rolling outages.

With green hydrogen widely touted as the most desirable option for achieving climate change goals, the debate is heating up in the data centre sector where proponents of hydrogen believe it could well be an ideal primary power source for putting the sector on a path to net zero.

With green credentials that include the UK’s lowest carbon energy intensity, increasing access to RERs, low-cost land and political backing, are the pieces in place for Scotland to fulfil its data centre sector potential?

Whether it is microgrids, distributed energy resources (DERs), co-gen, grid-interactive, islanded or integrated (decoupled or coupled) – there is growing consensus that data centres will require onsite or locally generated power delivered through microgrids.

To say microgrids will become a feature of future large data centre design, would be to overlook the idea that technically most data centres of scale can be configured to operate as local microgrids.

Here, Ed Ansett, Founder of i3 Solutions, discusses everything you need to know about microgrids. This conversation covers how data centres will require onsite, or locally generated power delivered through microgrids.
