Increasing Power Consumption Makes Greening a Necessity: Technologies to Realize Sustainable Data Centers
Further improvement in processing power is being required of data centers. On the other hand, improving the processing power of data centers is becoming impossible without the introduction of power consumption reducing technologies and effective measures against heat generation. We explain in this article the low power consumption technologies and effective heat dissipation technologies being introduced into the latest data centers.
What Is an OCP-Compliant Centralized Power Supply System for Data Centers?
The Open Compute Project (OCP) enables the high processing power, economy, and reduced power consumption required for data centers. What is the OCP? We describe here the background to the continued expansion and evolution of data centers, the current issues, the basic knowledge of the OCP that is advocated to overcome those issues, and the benefits of OCP-compliant products.
From General-purpose to Dedicated: Data Centers of the Future with Increasingly Diverse Processing Functions
Data centers are being utilized for a wider range of applications year by year. The functions required for the information processing systems introduced into data centers are changing in terms of the quality of the required calculation processing in line with those changes in how data centers are being used. In addition, the roles of the processors responsible for processing are becoming increasingly segmented. We explain in this article the functions of information processing systems in data centers with a focus on the processors that serve as the brain for information processing.
Semiconductors, Networks, Cooling, and Various Other Component Technologies That Make Up Data Centers
This article focuses on the hardware aspects of the components and technologies used in data centers, which have become the infrastructure for supporting a digital society. It clarifies the differences in design philosophy with PCs and other information devices used by individuals and explains the technologies that ensure the reliability needed by data centers to operate continuously 24 hours a day, 365 days a year so that countless users can perform various tasks.
Role of Data Centers as Digital Society Infrastructure in Supporting the Development of AI
This article explains the significance of data centers, which have become critical infrastructure for supporting a digital society. It also clarifies their benefits, which cannot be achieved through the use of information-processing equipment alone, while also discussing their role in supporting a society that promotes DX (digital transformation). In addition, it also addresses issues for the further evolution of data centers.
