HP has unveiled research from HP Labs that highlights the architecture for a data centre that requires no net energy from traditional power grids.
The company said that using this architecture, companies can cut total power usage by 30 per cent. They can also additionally reduce dependence on grid power and costs by more than 80 per cent.
Talking about the research, Mr. Cullen Bash, Distinguished Technologist, HP, and Interim Director, Sustainable Ecosystems Research Group, HP Labs said, "Information technology has the power to be an equalizer across societies globally, but the cost of IT services, and by extension the cost of energy, is prohibitive and inhibits widespread adoption. The HP Net-Zero Energy Data Centre not only aims to minimise the environmental impact of computing, but also has a goal of reducing energy costs associated with data-centre operations to extend the reach of IT accessibility globally."
