- Enhanced modular data center accelerates AI and compute-intensive workloads at the edge with integrated heat capture systems for external reuse<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Enhanced modular data centers support rapid scaling of AI while utilizing energy-efficient solutions to reduce energy use and emissions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Hewlett Packard Enterprise<\/a> (NYSE: HPE) and Danfoss today announced their collaboration to deliver HPE IT Sustainability Services \u2013 Data Center Heat Recovery, an off-the shelf heat recovery module, helping organizations manage and value excess[1<\/a>] heat as they transition towards more sustainable IT facilities.<\/p>\n
The rapid integration of AI technologies across organizations and businesses is expected to have a dramatic increase in the power demand and utilization of AI optimized IT infrastructure. According to the International Energy Agency, by 2026 the AI industry is expected to have grown exponentially to consume at least ten times its electricity demand in 2023[2<\/a>].<\/p>\n
To mitigate these challenges, IT leaders and data center facility operators are taking action to reduce energy usage, such as implementing modern power-efficient capabilities and improved cooling systems. Excess heat in the European Union alone represents an estimated 2,860 TWh\/y, almost equals to the EU\u2019s total energy demand for heat and hot water in residential and service sector buildings[3<\/a>]. The flow of excess heat from data centers is uninterruptible and therefore constitutes a very reliable source of clean energy.<\/p>\n
To address these issues, the new energy efficient data center solution from HPE and Danfoss offers:<\/p>\n
- \n
- HPE\u2019s scalable Modular Data Center (MDC)<\/strong>, in the form of small footprint, high-density (kW\/rack) containers, can be deployed nearly anywhere in the total absence of heavy industry and incorporates technologies such as direct liquid cooling, reducing overall energy consumption by 20%.<\/li>\n
- Danfoss\u2019 innovative solutions<\/strong>, including heat reuse modules that capture excess heat from data centers to provide renewable heating onsite and to neighboring buildings and industries for various applications, and Turbocor\u00ae<\/sup> oil-free compressors that enhance data center cooling efficiency by up to 30%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
J\u00fcrgen Fischer, President, Danfoss Climate Solutions, said: <\/p>\n
“Our strategic partnership with HPE is a great example of how we revolutionize building and decarbonizing the data center industry together with customers. With this latest cross-industry partnership we\u2019re building the blueprint for the next generation of sustainable datacenters \u2013 using technologies available today”.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Benefits and agility of modularity<\/strong><\/p>\n
HPE\u2019s MDC incorporates direct liquid cooling (DLC) technologies to enhance energy efficiency by over 20% and optimize energy production and distribution, leading to notable energy savings. The design\u2019s compactness minimizes energy loss by reducing the distance for energy and cooling fluid transport and maximizes the temperature differential at the inlet and outlet, which promotes the capture of excess heat. Furthermore, the MDC\u2019s agility and the exclusion of heavy industrial materials negate the need for costly, conventional building materials and substantially reduces the time to market. Deployment can be achieved three times quicker than with traditional data centers, decreasing from 18 months to as few as 6 months. Finally, the reduced land footprint and flexibility of the MDCs allow for placement in proximity to data generation sites, which diminishes the energy impact and bottlenecks associated with complex networking solutions and data transfer, while also supporting enhanced data governance and security.<\/p>\n
\n
Sue Preston, Vice President & General Manager, WW Advisory & Professional Services & Managed Services, HPE, said: <\/p>\n
“At HPE, we believe in the power of collaboration to create transformative solutions. Our partnership with Danfoss brings together HPE\u2019s innovative modular data center with Danfoss\u2019 groundbreaking heat reuse technology. Together, we are not just adding value; we are multiplying it. By harnessing the typically untapped resource of waste heat, turning waste into worth, showing the future of energy usage is efficient, intelligent, and, most importantly, achievable now.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
With unparalleled density, HPE\u2019s modular data centers offer an impressive power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.1[4<\/a>] in contrast to the PUE of 1.3 to 1.4 typically associated with the best modern designs of traditional brick-and-mortar data centers. Capable of handling the most power-demanding architectures like HPE Cray Supercomputing EX4000<\/a>, HPE\u2019s modular data center is the adequate architecture for mission critical and compute intensive workloads like supercomputing and generative AI, enabling scientists, universities, and enterprises to achieve faster outcomes.<\/p>\n
From chip to chiller: driving innovation in decarbonization<\/strong><\/p>\n
To leverage excess heat \u2013 one of the largest untapped sources of energy and the largest potential for data centers across Europe, HPE has partnered up with Danfoss as their decarbonization partner. The strategic partnership takes advantage of Danfoss\u2019 extensive product portfolio of energy-efficient solutions to drive innovation, support decarbonization and build the blueprint for the next generation of sustainable modular data centers.<\/p>\n
HPE IT Sustainability Services \u2013 Data Center Heat Recovery is inspired by how Danfoss is already using heat reuse technology at its own headquarters campus in Denmark. Here, the heat is recovered from Danfoss\u2019 onsite data center, boosted by a heat pump, and re-used in surrounding buildings to provide space heating. The heat can also be fed into the local district heating network to provide a renewable heat source to local residents. Reusing heat is a major part of Danfoss\u2019 own decarbonization strategy which has helped Danfoss achieve carbon neutrality in the energy system of its 250,000m2 campus in Nordborg in 2022.<\/p>\n
The new scalable modular data center offering leverages Danfoss technologies, including Turbocor\u00ae<\/sup> compressors for heat pumps and chillers, heat exchangers, heat reuse modules, drives and pump skids allowing data centers to be cooled up to 30% more efficiently while recovering and reusing excess heat. It\u2019s a modular solution with components that work together seamlessly and includes two technology stack options with a heat recovery system, including hydronic heat recovery heat exchanger and water-water heat pump, recovering heat from an air-cooled edge-to-cloud modular data center today and potentially second phase liquid cooled HPC modular data center.<\/p>\n
As part of its holistic “Reduce, Reuse, Resource” approach, Danfoss also partners with HPE to retire its end-of-use IT assets through HPE Asset Upcycling Services, a circular economy solution that enables technology refurbishment and reuse, while recovering economic value from those assets.<\/p>\n

More information on The European Union:<\/strong> https:\/\/european-union.europa.eu\/index_en<\/a> + The European Union\u2019s institutional set-up is unique and its decision-making system is constantly evolving. The 7 European institutions, 7 EU bodies and over 30 decentralised agencies are spread across the EU. They work together to address the common interests of the EU and European people. <\/p>\n
In terms of administration, there are a further 20 EU agencies and organisations which carry out specific legal functions and 4 interinstitutional services which support the institutions.<\/p>\n
All of these establishments have specific roles \u2013 from developing EU laws and policy-making to implementing policies and working on specialist areas, such as health, medicine, transport and the environment.<\/p>\n
There are 4 main decision-making institutions which lead the EU\u2019s administration. These institutions collectively provide the EU with policy direction and play different roles in the law-making process: <\/p>\n
- \n
- the European Parliament (Brussels\/Strasbourg\/Luxembourg)<\/li>\n
- the European Council (Brussels)<\/li>\n
- the Council of the European Union (Brussels\/Luxembourg)<\/li>\n
- the European Commission (Brussels\/Luxembourg\/Representations across the EU)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Their work is complemented by other institutions and bodies, which include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- the Court of Justice of the European Union (Luxembourg)<\/li>\n
- the European Central Bank (Frankfurt)<\/li>\n
- the European Court of Auditors (Luxembourg)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The EU institutions and bodies cooperate extensively with the network of EU agencies and organisations across the European Union. The primary function of these bodies and agencies is to translate policies into realities on the ground.<\/p>\n
Around 60,000 EU civil servants and other staff serve the 450 million Europeans (and countless others around the world).<\/p>\n
Currently, 27 countries are part of the EU: https:\/\/european-union.europa.eu\/principles-countries-history\/country-profiles_en<\/a> <\/p>\n
More information on The European Commission:<\/strong> https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/index_en<\/a> + The Commission helps to shape the EU’s overall strategy, proposes new EU laws and policies, monitors their implementation and manages the EU budget. It also plays a significant role in supporting international development and delivering aid.<\/p>\n
The Commission is steered by a group of 27 Commissioners, known as ‘the college’. Together they take decisions on the Commission’s political and strategic direction.<\/p>\n
A new college of Commissioners is appointed every 5 years.<\/p>\n
The Commission is organised into policy departments, known as Directorates-General (DGs), which are responsible for different policy areas. DGs develop, implement and manage EU policy, law, and funding programmes. In addition, service departments deal with particular administrative issues. Executive agencies manage programmes set up by the Commission.<\/p>\n
Principal roles in law: The Commission proposes and implements laws which are in keeping with the objectives of the EU treaties. It encourages input from business and citizens in the law-making process and ensures laws are correctly implemented, evaluated and updated when needed.<\/p>\n

EMR Additional Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Cloud Computing:<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the internet. … Cloud computing is a technology that uses the internet for storing and managing data on remote servers and then access data via the internet.<\/li>\n
- Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user. Large clouds often have functions distributed over multiple locations, each location being a data center.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Edge Computing:<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Edge computing is a form of computing that is done on site or near a particular data source, minimizing the need for data to be processed in a remote data center.<\/li>\n
- Edge computing can enable more effective city traffic management. Examples of this include optimising bus frequency given fluctuations in demand, managing the opening and closing of extra lanes, and, in future, managing autonomous car flows.<\/li>\n
- An edge device is any piece of hardware that controls data flow at the boundary between two networks. Edge devices fulfill a variety of roles, depending on what type of device they are, but they essentially serve as network entry — or exit — points.<\/li>\n
- There are five main types of edge computing devices: IoT sensors, smart cameras, uCPE equipment, servers and processors. IoT sensors, smart cameras and uCPE equipment will reside on the customer premises, whereas servers and processors will reside in an edge computing data centre.<\/li>\n
- In service-based industries such as the finance and e-commerce sector, edge computing devices also have roles to play. In this case, a smart phone, laptop, or tablet becomes the edge computing device.<\/li>\n
- Edge Devices:\n
- \n
- Edge devices encompass a broad range of device types, including sensors, actuators and other endpoints, as well as IoT gateways. Within a local area network (LAN), switches in the access layer — that is, those connecting end-user devices to the aggregation layer — are sometimes called edge switches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Data Centers:<\/strong>\n
- \n
- A data center is a facility that centralizes an organization’s shared IT operations and equipment for the purposes of storing, processing, and disseminating data and applications. Because they house an organization’s most critical and proprietary assets, data centers are vital to the continuity of daily operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Hyperscale Data Centers:<\/strong>\n
- \n
- The clue is in the name: hyperscale data centers are massive facilities built by companies with vast data processing and storage needs. These firms may derive their income directly from the applications or websites the equipment supports, or sell technology management services to third parties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
