Understanding OVHcloud’s data centres: how Delta T helps with water efficiency

/ / OVHcloud Engineering

In our latest installment we introduced the merits of our Hybrid Immersion Liquid Cooling Technology. This new approach to cooling essentially enables new scenarios within the data centre all the while significantly reducing power consumption by up to 20% for cooling systems dedicated to servers. Amongst other benefits, it helps for operation in harsh climatic […]
