But maybe we should be afraid of something else: continue to build data centers with a service life of more than 10 years, the cooling of which depends solely on air flows? How sustainable is an industry that spends more on providing electricity to rotating fans than it does on powering processors? It's still hard to get used to this spectacle: we take a powerful server and immerse it ...
