Eco-friendly Data Center

Climate change is an issue that the world no longer can ignore. Samsung SDS is an active participant in reducing carbon emissions, sourcing low-carbon technologies, and using clean energy for our data centers.

Energy saving

Samsung SDS' data center IT systems use power-saving flash memory and solid state drives (SSDs) to maximize energy efficiency. The airside economizers process outside air into cool energy for our servers. And, with analytic hydrodynamic models built using Samsung SDS technologies, air movements are examined to find optimal and practical ways to use atmospheric energy.

Clean Energy

Samsung SDS continuously searches for innovative energy solutions to power the data centers. The solar water heaters, solar lighting systems, geothermal heating, cooling systems, and fuel cell technology are currently in use.

Recognition

With all efforts, Samsung SDS data centers are acknowledged and certified as world-leading energy-efficient.
