Liquid cooling for Paris data centre

With the increased adoption of advanced, data-driven technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics, companies are dealing with a significant influx of data that needs to be processed at high speeds; a phenomenon known as Data Gravity[1]. In response to this challenge, Digital Realty’s state of the art data center in La Courneuve is equipped with a direct liquid cooling (DLC) system to support the HPC equipment increasingly being adopted by customers globally.

Digital Realty’s new HPC-capable data center has been designed to be adaptable to customers’ evolving infrastructure needs while also optimizing for energy efficiency. With DLC, customers are likely to experience reductions in data processing costs – compared to traditional air-cooling methods – due to the technology’s ability to efficiently dissipate heat and reduce energy consumption, as well as make progress towards the reduction of their Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions.

Fabrice Coquio, SVP and Managing Director – France, Digital Realty, commented: “Working closely with our customers and supporting their evolving needs is a top priority for Digital Realty, which is why we are offering an HPC-compatible DLC solution in Paris.”

Coquio continues: “Digital Realty’s liquid cooling solution enables our customers to deploy their most compute-intensive applications in an environment that is optimized for energy efficiency. Our new HPC-capable data center in Paris is another step towards achieving our vision of becoming the meeting place for companies, technologies, and data to come together.”
