Promoting Safety, Sustainability, and Resilient Infrastructure in Hyperscale Data Centers
Leading hyperscale data centers prioritize more than just growth. To be successful, they must ensure the safety of personnel, equipment, and data, strive for sustainability, and build resilient infrastructure that can withstand disruptions. By leveraging a combination of AI, custom hardware, and continuous innovation, hyperscalers are shaping several important trends in modern data centers. These principles are applicable to data centers of all sizes. Safety and Security Life Safety Systems (With Redundancies) Fully redundant and independently powered safety systems are crucial. At a minimum, each facility should stock smoke detectors, emergency lighting, and fire suppressors. Fire suppression systems should be gas-based, such as those using FM-200 or NOVEC 1230. These […]
