The internet is becoming more accessible to people every day. The internet’s services are becoming more complex and increasing in complexity. Data centers of large size are needed to handle the volume of information. They need to be situated in huge warehouses located at distant sites that provide plenty of space.

The data centers need an extensive infrastructure as well as power to be cool. They are often powered by air conditioning which consumes a large amount of electrical energy. Data centers are currently being constructed with the most innovative ways for cooling.

Facebook, for example, has just inaugurated a new data center located in Northern Sweden. It uses induction fans , as well as the naturally cold climate to cool its servers. Induction fans do require electricity, but it’s much superior to traditional air conditioning.

Others are coming up with even better solutions. Microsoft ran a successful trial in which they placed a server in a watertight vessel on the floor of the ocean. For cooling the servers they employed the heat exchangers along with cooling ocean water.
