This company powers high computing data centers with smart renewables: VivoPower
In today's digital era, data centers stand as vital pillars of our digital infrastructure, currently accounting for a significant 3% of global electricity consumption. As computing tasks burgeon, driven by advancements like AI algorithms and extensive data analysis, the demand for data centers continues to escalate.
