Servers are also afraid of overheating, and some servers are actually soaked in water?

  Servers are also very afraid of overheating, especially when a large number of servers are gathered together, the heat generated must be dissipated in time. Therefore, 41% of the annual electricity cost of a data center is used for cooling. Otherwise, the data center will have thermal problems. if not, A malfunction occurs with unimaginable consequences.

  According to statistics, the annual electricity consumption of global data centers accounts for about 2% of the world's total electricity, and the cost of energy consumption accounts for 30%-50% of the entire IT industry. Therefore, we usually know many Internet companies, such as Tencent, Alibaba, ByteDance, Baidu and other companies have the largest cost in addition to labor, as well as data centers. In order to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions, Alibaba placed the server at the bottom of the lake. The average temperature in the Qiandao Lake area is about 18 degrees Celsius, and the lake water can save more than 80% of the cooling energy of the data center. Huawei also has a similar move to store servers. Unlike Microsoft's placement of servers under the sea, Huawei stores servers in caves. In 2017, Huawei started to build its own server center in the Qixing Lake data center in Gui'an New District, Guizhou. Such a large-scale project has almost hollowed out a mountain, and may continue to expand in the future. Microsoft once put the underwater data center into the seabed for 105 days, and found that the temperature of this sealed cabin will dissipate with the flow of seawater, and the effect is not bad. But the sea water near the sealed cabin will rise slightly, about one-thousandth of the normal sea temperature. However, it may be difficult to use this method on a large scale. After all, Microsoft's data center has more than a few hundred computers, and it may be inconvenient to maintain it under the sea. Judging from the current situation, Ocean's data center solution is indeed more advantageous in terms of cost and heat dissipation, but it is in the testing stage. The mountain area is more comprehensive in terms of heat dissipation and security, and is the best solution available for data centers at present.
