Europe is currently striving to be the first climate neutral continent by introducing a package of policy initiatives called the European Union’s (EU) Green Deal. This deal was introduced in 2019 and focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) was also launched which aims to decrease energy usage by 11.7% by 2030.

Edge data centers are transforming the way we process and deliver data, catering to the skyrocketing demands of modern applications and services. The global edge computing market size was recently valued at USD 11.24 billion and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.9% from 2023 to 2030. By 2025, more than 75% of all enterprise-generated data will be created and processed outside of the traditional data center or cloud.

Over the past 5 years, the average server rack density increased from 5kW to 8-10kW, prompting temperature rises in the data center. These temperature increases can become a major issue if not handled properly. Maintaining the correct temperature is extremely important because nearly 30% of unplanned data center outages are caused by environment issues. Not monitoring and analyzing your environment can have a negative impact on energy and resource efficiency.
