Save your data locally, y’all. “Forty-five percent of US data centers have experienced an extreme weather event that threatened their ability to operate.” What you know as “the cloud” is just a series of computer servers housed in a data center. Data centers must stay cool. Otherwise, the computer servers overheat, the data burns up and it can’t be reconstructed. Because of climate change, data centers’ cooling systems are being taxed to withstand these higher outdoor temps. So download your most valuable content like family pics, banking info, school/work docs and other important files, on your laptop or external drive as a backup. Store those local backups in a cool dry place too. https://lnkd.in/gJYPCGxc

Have you ever thought about what powers the #digital interactions you have on a daily basis? Every video call you have with a family member, every article you read, reaches you through a vast, intricate global infrastructure. Within this system, Microsoft’s fleet consists of +300 #datacenters in 140 countries. Each #datacenter is a monumental effort - taking up to 400 people and five years to build. The foundation of these facilities? State of the art #servers, capable of storing petabytes of #data. And our commitment to these builds extends beyond technology. We envision datacenters of the future harmoniously integrated with nature, promoting biodiversity and resilience. This new video explores the unknown infrastructure that powers our world - including the cloud infrastructure that powers Microsoft. https://lnkd.in/e-42v-Dy #gestión #tecnologia #informatiqu#datacenter #airconditioning #sustainability #sustainable #climatechange #installation #compliance #projectmanagement #maintenance #intelligence #heatreuse #strategy #facilitymanagement#reliability #restwarmte #energyefficiency #pue #cooling #colocation #datacenters #datacentre #datacentres #duurzaamheid #regulation #germany #rechenzentrum #rechenzentren #centrodedatos #centrosdedatos #hyperscaler #hyperscalers #data #criticalinfrastructure #criticalfacilities #design #construction #cloud #ai #koeling #kjoling #power #energysavings #energy #energyconsumption #management

Leader in Datacenter Architecture & Energy Systems | Pioneering Sustainable Cloud and AI Datacenters & Advanced Energy Solutions at Microsoft.
This is fascinating. Every video you stream, every photo you share, or article you read, reaches you through a vast, intricate global infrastructure - a silent hero of our digital age. Think about this: 🌍 Half a million miles of undersea cables. Run silent, run deep. 🔗 8,000 datacenters and more exchange points Within this vast system, Microsoft’s fleet itself consists of 300+ data centers in 140 countries, serving our cloud services. 💼 Each data center is a monumental effort - taking up to 400 people and five years to craft. The foundation of these facilities? State of the art servers, capable of storing petabytes of data! ⚡ Keeping these humming involves ensuring a constant power supply and EFFICENT COOLING. My brilliant colleague Husam Alissa and his team have developed some mind blowing cooling tech. 🌿 Our commitment extends beyond technology. My main partner in crime, Christian Belady VP of Datacenter Research put it like this, "We can learn from nature...how do we make the data center disappear?" We are envisioning data centers harmoniously integrated with nature, promoting biodiversity and resilience. Thanks to some mind-blowing work by my brilliant colleague Kaitlin Chuzi, Amsterdam, our upcoming project will be cocooned by forests and wetlands, boosting local biodiversity and storm resilience. Similarly, in Finland, we're tapping into the power of cold air to aid cooling while supporting regional CO2 emission reduction targets. So, the next time you're trekking through woods or admiring a beaver dam, remember - the marvels of modern engineering might just be hiding right around the corner! 🌲💡 #MicrosoftDataCentres #Innovation #SustainableTech https://lnkd.in/gzHhmjxG
