Energy-efficient data centres
In 2019, over 57 per cent of the world’s population had internet access. With 4.3bn active internet users an enormous volume of internet activity occurs daily. In a second, 63,000 searches are conducted by internet users on Google, accounting for 90 per cent of the search engine market worldwide. Our internet activity is made possible by millions of servers worldwide, much of which are housed in data centres, best described as warehouses of racks containing servers and computer systems through which our online activity flows.
