Thermal management: a critical issue for modern data centers<\/strong><\/p>\n Today, cooling accounts for between 30 % and 40 % of a data center's total energy consumption, depending on the density of the equipment, the efficiency of the systems deployed and the level of redundancy required. Optimized thermal management is no longer an option, but a necessity:<\/p>\n A pragmatic, proactive approach, based on accurate thermal data, not only eliminates hot spots, but also anticipates maintenance needs and refines cooling strategies.<\/p>\n Temperature sensors: the foundation of intelligent supervision<\/strong><\/p>\n The performance of a thermal management system depends largely on the quality and granularity of the data collected. Temperature sensors, integrated into centralized supervision systems, play a key role:<\/p>\n The choice and positioning of sensors must meet stringent requirements in terms of accuracy, robustness and integration, in order to provide easily usable data.<\/p>\n Innovation and choice of sensors<\/strong><\/p>\n L\u2019innovation in cooling<\/strong>, as practiced by OVHcloud<\/strong> with its proprietary watercooling<\/strong>, is based on exhaustive and reliable data collection. This data collection feeds advanced monitoring and simulation algorithms, accelerating R&D and the development of new cooling systems.<\/p>\n Mesurex, an instrumentation expert since 1972, is proud to collaborate with OVHcloud, providing them with instrumented temperature sensors<\/strong>, perfectly adapted to the constraints and requirements of datacenter thermal applications.<\/p>\n\n

The thermal imperative in an era of digital hypergrowth<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The accelerating adoption of generative AI, the continuing expansion of the cloud and the massive digitization of business processes and lifestyles, are leading to a multiplication of data centers. These developments, essential to business competitiveness, come with a major challenge: controlling their energy footprint. Among the levers for optimization, thermal management has become a strategic pillar, conditioning the performance, resilience and economic viability of infrastructures.<\/h4>\n
