BNR Headlines‘Ontwikkeling datacenters in de ruimte niet meer te stoppen’De Europese Unie moet snel werk maken van plannen voor de ontwikkeling van datacenters in de ruimte. Dat staat in een rapport van het European Space Policy Institute (ESPI). De ontwikkelingen gaan razendsnel en dus kan de EU niet achterblijven, waarschuwen de onderzoekers. Onlangs maakte Google al bekend hier plannen voor te hebben. ‘Dit gaat gewoon gebeuren,’ zegt ook Rob van den Berg, ruimtevaartdeskundige bij sterrenwacht Sonnenborgh in Utrecht.Lees het hele artikel op bnr.nl: ‘Ontwikkeling datacenters in de ruimte niet meer te stoppen’See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tech Update | BNRGoogle wil in de toekomst datacenters in de ruimte bouwenGoogle heeft mogelijk een nieuwe manier gevonden om meer datacenters te bouwen. In de ruimte is tekort aan ruimte geen probleem meer en kan tegelijkertijd meer energie worden opgewekt. Google wil namelijk satellieten met zonnepanelen de ruimte in sturen, waardoor acht keer meer energie opgewekt kan worden dan op aarde. Wel voorziet het bedrijf nog een hoop obstakels. Rosanne Peters vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Met 'Project Suncatcher' hoopt Google veel meer energie op te wekken, waardoor er mogelijk voldoende wordt opgewekt om aan de vraag van alle datacenters te voldoen. Maar de satellieten moeten via...

But females are becoming increasingly engaged in construction roles. Female-based apprenticeship programs such as the ANEW in Seattle, Building Pathways in Boston, and Tradeswomen Inc. are facilitating this, according to EHS Today.
Why is this growth occurring and what are organizations and businesses doing to catalyze this growth?

The "Data Center Capital of the World" title sometimes makes reference to Loudoun County in Virginia, which is a popular location for data centers. The county has become a desirable location for data center development due to its close proximity to Washington, D.C., its dependable power system, strong fiber-optic network, and its advantageous tax incentives.

2023-02-2836 minTechzine TalksWaterkoeling in datacenters kan wel efficiënt en circulairEr is veel ophef over watergekoelde datacenters, want in ons land gebruikt een groot aantal datacenters miljoenen liters drinkwater om racks koel te houden. Hierdoor zit waterkoeling nu in een verdomhoekje, maar dat hoeft helemaal niet zo leren we in deze aflevering van Techzine Talks. Waterkoeling in datacenters is namelijk veel efficiënter dan luchtkoeling, maar belangrijker nog, datacenters kunnen ook industrie-, oppervlakte- of afvalwater gebruiken om te koelen.Vorig jaar namen we een podcast op over waterkoeling in datacenters. Steeds meer datacenters gebruiken niet langer buitenlucht maar koeltorens gevuld met water om racks te k...

Niet alleen vanwege het energieverbruik, maar ook vanwege het waterverbruik. Toch zal het gebruik van vloeistoffen zoals water in datacenters niet kunnen stoppen. Wel is het mogelijk om meer richting gesloten systemen te bewegen, waarmee het op termijn ook nog mogelijk moet zijn om warmte af te dragen aan het omliggende gebied.Recent waren we aanwezig bij een evenement van Vertiv.
