YVAM chiller meets Europe’s growing data centre demand

Todd Grabowski, President of Data Centre Solutions at Johnson Controls, explains how the company has expanded the availability of its leading YORK range of YVAM air-cooled magnetic bearing chillers to Europe to meet the growing demand in the data centre industry. The YVAM is a crucial thermal management technology for hyperscale and colocation facilities – Todd talks through key features including the power efficiency, operating temperature range and zero water. He also shares some thoughts as to how the data centre industry will evolve into the future and how Johnson Controls, and its Global Data Centre Solutions organisation in particular, will develop solutions to meet these new demands.

Taking the heat out of the energy debate

Helena Fagraeus Lundström, T.Loop CEO, explains how T.Loop designs, builds and operates Data Energy Centers®, realised “on the edge” in buildings with heating needs that match with Data Energy Center®’s excess heat. Having quickly established itself as a forward-thinking player, T.Loop currently operates three data centres in Stockholm and has signed its first commercial contract. Plans are already underway for expanding to additional sites in major Nordic cities. Coming from the solar industry, Helena has a unique perspective on the intersection of data centres and power demand.

Realising the promise of PICs

Chris Maloney, Managing Director of US Operations & Director of Business Development at VPIphotonics, discusses how photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have become an enabling technology in the rapid expansion of data centre connectivity due to their lower cost, lower power consumption, small footprint, and high-speed performance. One of the main challenges of using PICs for data applications is the design complexity associated with their integration into a fiber-optic communication system. Chris explains why the photonic design process is so critical, as well as offering advice to those seeking to develop PIC-based solutions for the dynamic data centre market.
