Given that global demand for data centers has continued to grow sharply – driven not only by artificial intelligence, but also by decentralizing digital infrastructure – operators face growing pressure to balance performance, sustainability and compliance.
In Europe and Asia, a trend is accelerated towards a smaller locally distributed device and encourages concerns about sovereignty and security.
In this competitive landscape, where hyperscaler and regional players compete to meet business, environmental and legislative requirements, the water management has proved to be an important factor. Cooling itself can account for 10% to 40% of the cost of the data center and the community are increasingly loud about the environmental traces of these devices – especially in terms of water consumption and energy consumption.
Water is everywhere in the data center – from roof renewable sources to underground boreholes, from wastewater treatment to heating in the district. Its ubiquity makes the design of the strategic water system necessary for operational efficiency, environmental responsibility and cost control.
Before Expo IoT Tech in Amsterdam (September 24 – 25), we talked to Dario Menini and Igor Chodaton of Xylem, a global leader in the field of water technology.
With a powerful result in the Segment of the Data Center in North America and Asia, Xyle is now expanding integrated water solutions across Europe. The company that builds on its established presence in many sectors offers a comprehensive portfolio under the Loware-known brand for high-performance pumps and advanced fluid-compiled technologies to meet the demanding needs of infrastructure important missions.
Xylem access exceeds components and provides a complete, consulting model for data centers, builders and consultants. Its accession covers everything from cooling and heat recovery to HVAC, fire and waste water management. Basically, it is a one -off shop for water and thermal systems in modern data centers.
With strong project results-including AWS cooperation on extensive water-renewed Xyle, it is well placed to meet the unique European regulatory and environmental challenges. Its local presence provides overhead costs with low transport (thanks to production in Italy), faster response time and tailor -made regional needs.
One example is the implementation of heat distribution systems with xyl, which direct excessive heat from data centers to the surrounding communities for residential and commercial heating – returning the cooled water back to the device. This type of circular system not only reduces waste, but also creates tangible benefits of the community.
Navigation in the European fragmented regulatory landscape is another area where Xyle has an advantage. As in the US, where state rules differ, Europe lacks a uniform environmental standard for data centers. Xylem’s expertise helps operators to remain before developing legislation and ensure compliance with investment and future.
Since sustainability becomes a central pillar of a data center strategy, having a partner who understands the entire spectrum of water and heat control that is no longer optional – it is necessary.
