Data Center Knowledge, Tuesday, November 28,2023
Are wooden data centers the future of sustainable design? Vertiv is betting on it with the introduction of TimberMod, a modular data center solution made mostly of timber. Here, we take a look at TimberMod and what wooden data centers have to offer.
Vertiv, the US-based manufacturer of turnkey digital infrastructure solutions, has launched a modular wooden data center concept that's aimed at helping organizations reduce their carbon footprint and meet their sustainability goals.
Issues surrounding sustainability in the data center industry are becoming increasingly important. In the US alone, demand for data centers is forecast to grow by 10% a year until 2030. This increased demand will necessitate the construction of more data centers - facilities that are often primarily composed of non-renewable resources including steel and cement.
