Data centres and effective water filtration

The migration of data centres to the near Arctic conditions found in places such as northern Scandinavian is steadily increasing as organisations seek to benefit from reduced operating costs.

Finland, Iceland and Sweden are all seeing vast data centres popping up, ready to exploit these extreme temperatures which can drop to minus -40 degrees centigrade. Such temperatures mean that operating systems can be cooled simply by using the air and water that nature provides. This is very advantageous as basically these organisations are getting free cooling.

However, any type of natural water source also comes with microscopic particles. If not filtered out these have the potential of cancelling out any cost savings by clogging up operations and causing expensive downtimes…
