Everything you do on the internet depends on servers running in interconnected data centers, and those servers inevitably create heat. Equinix is working to turn that heat into a valuable resource by exporting it to homes and businesses in our communities.
We invited The B1M, the world’s largest video channel for construction, to take a closer look at data center heat export in action. The following video will take you inside Equinix PA10, our innovative data center in Paris. You’ll see how we’re using heat export to help with everything from growing strawberries in a rooftop greenhouse to heating a swimming pool used at the upcoming Summer Olympics. And, just by clicking play, you could be contributing to those efforts without even knowing it.
