From underground bunkers to 'data spas' and the 'floating cloud', Lenovo is getting creative with future data center ideas
"Research from the company shows many are failing to meet sustainability targets, with 46% of IT leaders admitting their current infrastructure doesn't support energy or carbon-reduction goals. That comes despite the fact 92% said they prioritize technology partners who reduce energy use and carbon footprint. Meanwhile, an overwhelming 99% of IT and C-level decision makers across EMEA said data sovereignty will be critical in the coming years."
"Unsurprisingly, AI is a key consideration in terms of future data center sustainability and design. Nine-in-ten believe that AI will significantly increase organizational data usage in the next decade, and 62% expect AI and automation to have the greatest impact on IT strategy. This means that data centers of the future will have to be designed with AI workloads in mind, and many simply aren't up to scratch right now."
Research shows many traditional data centers fail to meet sustainability targets, with 46% of IT leaders admitting current infrastructure doesn't support energy or carbon-reduction goals. Ninety-two percent of respondents prioritize technology partners who reduce energy use and carbon footprint. An overwhelming 99% of IT and C-level decision makers across EMEA consider data sovereignty critical. Nine-in-ten expect AI to significantly increase organizational data usage, and 62% predict AI and automation will most affect IT strategy. Proposed responses include novel architectures developed with engineering and architectural partners, including high-altitude, solar-powered 'Floating Cloud' facilities using pressurized closed liquid cooling loops.
