How the race for cloud and artificial intelligence is moving trillions of dollars, and what this means in terms of investment, revenue and wealth creation

This article reassesses the generation of wealth associated with data centers based on evidence from specialized consultancies, multilateral organizations and governments. The bottom line is that economic impact should not be measured solely by permanent employment within the facility. The most robust literature separates the effects into three levels: direct contribution from the construction […]

The evolution of information technology can be interpreted as a sequence of waves of industrialization of computing capacity. Each wave is born from a limitation of the previous one, reaches market scale when it finds technical standardization, an ecosystem of suppliers and clear economic value, reaches maturity when it becomes predictable and widely adopted, and enters […]

This article explains and compares three heat rejection architectures applied to closed water circuit cooling systems for data centers: air condensing chiller, water condensing chiller and dry cooler with adiabatic support. The analysis uses a 1 MW IT load, 100 10 kW racks, […]

This study deepens the comparison of carbon generation from data centers in Brazil and the United States in scopes 1, 2 and 3 of the GHG Protocol, normalizing the results per 1 MW of IT load and per year of operation. The methodology starts from a reference installation with PUE 1.4, equivalent to 12,264 […]
