📅 - How leagend Smart BMS Solutions Help Data Centers Balance the Power Grid - Data Centers: The Silent Pillars of Grid Stability In today's increasingly electrified world, data centers are no longer just hubs for information processing—they're evolving into essential components of grid stability. As nations shift toward decarbonization and renewables replace traditional fossil-fueled power plants, the grid is becoming more dynamic, decentralized, and difficult to manage.
To maintain system frequency and accommodate fluctuations in solar and wind power, operators are turning to flexible energy storage systems—and data centers, with their extensive UPS infrastructure, are emerging as a key player in this transformation. The Renewable Challenge: Intermittency and [...]
📅 - New EXA Fiber Route Linking London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Brussels - EXA Infrastructure, one of Europe's largest digital infrastructure providers, has announced the activation of a new 1,200-kilometer high-capacity fiber network connecting major European hubs: London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and Brussels. The new link significantly strengthens the continent's digital backbone, adding capacity and resiliency across one of the busiest internet corridors in the region.
The route includes a 115-kilometer subsea segment stretching from Margate in the United Kingdom to Ostend in Belgium, using ultra-low-loss G.654C optical fiber. This is combined with 1,085 kilometers of newly installed terrestrial fiber (G.652D) across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. Two [...]
