How the Deep Lake Water Cooling System Works

Deep below scenic Lake Ontario’s surface is Toronto’s most valuable source of renewable energy — cold, cold water. Traditional commercial water-cooling systems often involve towers that evaporate water as a means of expelling heat. Deep Lake Water Cooling System (DLWC) avoids that evaporation, and Enwave estimates that the Toronto system saves roughly 220 million gallons

Power Usage Efficiency

Data Center Power and Power Usage Efficiency (PUE)

For colocation providers, Power Usage Efficiency (PUE) is similar to margins produced by wholesale versus retail pricing. With the commoditization of colocation, providers are forced to pay closer attention to how they utilize power, and they’ve had a lot of help along the way. Moore’s Law, advancements in rectifier & inverter Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)
