Iomart Group PLC - Glasgow-based cloud computing company - Says prototype of passive cooling system has been implemented in its Glasgow data centre. Test results for the new cooling system indicate the potential for an up to 50% reduction in electrical power consumption by the site's cooling system, which could help reduce the carbon footprint of the data centre industry.
Chief Executive Officer Reece Donovan says: "Data centres are essential to a more connected, digital future, but the environmental impact of the sector is something the industry has to come to terms with. Through projects like this, we are able to play an active role in taking steps towards a greener future for the tech industry. We are delighted to have already seen the potential impact of this technology at our Glasgow data centre."
