Aug, 2024 : iomarts Maidenhead, UK Data Center to Run on Solar Power
📅 - Iomarts goal is to run their flagship data center in Maidenhead, UK, entirely on solar power throughout the summer. To this end, they have installed 560 solar panels on the facility. At the data center, the solar panels would provide approximately 250,000 kWh of electricity each year, saving 96,061 kg of CO2 emissions.
Of the company's 13 data centers in the UK, the Maidenhead data center is the largest at 2,800 square meters. Not only is it our primary self-managed infrastructure location, but it also powers more than 12,000 servers.
This move is part of iomart's larger long-term sustainability plan, which includes its decision to run all of their data centers entirely on renewable [...][... Check source for end of article ...]

📅 - IonQ Unveils Advanced Quantum Error Correction Method - IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a global provider of quantum computing technologies, has unveiled a new development that could enable the use of partial error correction to perform massive applications on short-range quantum systems. The method would be orders of magnitude more effective than state-of-the-art error correction methods.
In a new study, IonQ researchers offer a unique method for reducing noise in Clifford gates, which are among the most popular and noisiest operations used in quantum applications. Unlike other methods that use tens, hundreds or even thousands of qubits for error correction, Clifford Noise Reduction (CliNR), a partial error correction approach, uses a small 3:1 qubit [...]
📅 - Hyperscale Data Centers Surpass 1,000, Now 41% of Global Capacity - The number of large data centers operated by hyperscale cloud companies has passed 1,000 and, according to new statistics from Synergy Research Group, they now make up 41% of the global capacity of all data centers. The remaining hyperscale cloud capacity is now housed in leased spaces, slightly more than half of which are in self-built data centers.
On-premise data centers have only 37% of total capacity, and non-hyperscale colocation accounts for another 22%. This contrasts sharply with the situation six years earlier, when on-premise facilities accounted for about 60% of data center capacity.
By 2029, hyperscale operators will control more than 60% of total capacity, while on-premise [...]

This new facility would highlight ServerMania's ongoing commitment to improving data security and performance for its customers.
The Amsterdam data center industry has experienced remarkable growth, with a 30% increase in 2016 alone, stated ServerMania. By 2024, the Netherlands would be home to nearly 300 data centers, making it one of Europe's most prominent data center hubs, second only to Germany and the United Kingdom. Amsterdam's appeal as a hosting location stems [...]
📅 - Kioxia Unveils Broadband SSD for Next-Gen Green Data Centers - A broadband SSDprototype with an optical interface for next-generation data centers was introduced this week by Kioxia Corporation, a global memory solutions provider, at the FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage conference in Santa Clara, Calif.
This new SSD technology would maintain good signal quality and energy efficiency despite increasing the physical distance between computing and storage devices and downsizing wiring by replacing an optical interface with electrical wiring. It would also give data center system architectures and applications great flexibility.
Systems can be composed of discrete components, such as CPUs and SSDs, and smoothly interconnected using an optical [...]
