How can we minimize the energy waste from data centers? This week, Technology Now explores a potential avenue to harness a large untapped source of energy: excess heat. How much of a problem is the excess heat in the world? How much do data centers actually contribute to the problem? What, if anything, can we do to combat this? Malte Matthies, Business Development Lead for Modular Data Center - at Hewlett Packard Enterprise tells us more.
This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Aubrey Lovell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what can be learnt from it.
