The collaboration between Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Danfoss aims to provide energy-efficient solutions for data centers, particularly focusing on heat recovery technology to optimize sustainability. As the demand for AI technologies grows exponentially, the energy consumed by data centers is expected to increase significantly. In response, organizations are seeking ways to reduce energy consumption and emissions.
The HPE Scalable Modular Data Center (MDC) offers a compact, high-density container design that incorporates direct liquid cooling technologies, resulting in a 20% reduction in energy consumption. Danfoss contributes innovative solutions such as heat reuse modules and oil-free compressors to improve cooling efficiency by up to 30%. This collaborative effort aims to revolutionize the construction and decarbonization of the data center industry, emphasizing the importance of sustainability.
The modularity of the HPE MDC allows for agile deployment and reduced time to market, with deployment times shortened from 18 months to just 6 months. The compact design minimizes energy loss and maximizes the capture of excess heat, which can be reused for renewable heating in nearby buildings and industries. The MDC’s unmatched power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.1 outperforms traditional data center designs, making it ideal for compute-intensive workloads such as supercomputing and AI applications.
By harnessing excess heat, which is identified as a significant energy source with great potential, HPE and Danfoss are driving innovation in decarbonization. The collaboration leverages Danfoss’ energy-efficient solutions to support sustainability efforts and build the blueprint for the next generation of modular data centers. This includes technologies like Turbocor® compressors for heat pumps, heat exchangers, and heat reuse modules, enabling data centers to cool more efficiently while recovering excess heat for reuse.
The partnership also includes a holistic approach to retiring IT assets through HPE Asset Upcycling Services, promoting a circular economy solution that renews and reuses technology while recovering economic value from retired assets. Overall, the collaboration between HPE and Danfoss aims to address the increasing energy demand of AI technologies while promoting sustainability and energy efficiency in data center operations.
HPE IT Sustainability Services – Data Center Heat Recovery is available for immediate order, offering organizations a comprehensive solution to optimize energy consumption, reduce emissions, and support sustainable data center operations. As organizations seek to build more efficient and environmentally friendly IT facilities, the collaboration between HPE and Danfoss provides a leading-edge solution to address these sustainability challenges.
