Data centres are on the frontline of future motor technology

08Mar

Cooling is exceptionally important to data centres, given the heat-generating nature of servers. As big data has become the foundation upon which industrial automation providers are building new solutions and services, the increase in data has in turn highlighted the importance of motor technology advances.

To support this increase in data, infrastructure in the form of data centres is continuing to be built and leased out to companies in need of server space. Research group Cloudscene estimates that there are 8,382 data centres globally, and the continued growth in demand for data is pushing this number even higher.
