Generative AI will not run on thin air
Tor Björn Minde and Jon Summers will delve into the intricate energy costs associated with training and utilizing generative AI models, such as ChatGPT, which rely on data centers and edge nodes. The increasing computational demands necessitate the adoption of more efficient and sophisticated GPU/accelerator hardware, resulting in higher power consumption. Thermal management poses challenges, as traditional air cooling methods are inadequate, prompting data centers to explore liquid cooling solutions near the microelectronics. As future microelectronics are expected to generate higher heat fluxes while operating at lower temperatures, the viability of immersed cooling, direct-to-chip, or other liquid cooling derivatives in meeting heat removal requirements is questioned. These advancements serve as significant technical drivers influencing the design of various data center architectures.

Previous events 2023
The Nordic Datacenter associations are inviting the industry to join a webinar on June the 29th at 13.00 CET, on the upcoming European Energy Directive and its impact on the data center industry in Europe.
European Energy Directive and the impact on datacenter operators
Swedish Datacenter
Industry Association together with its Nordic sister organizations arranged a
webinar on the 29th of June regarding the European Energy Directive
and the impact on datacenter operators.

Webinar 8 May, 14.15 – 15.00 "Unlocking Opportunities through Flexible Energy Usage".
Swedish Datacenter Industry Association continue its webinar series. This time we are glad to welcome Mikael Holm, Global Sector Lead, datacenters, from Telia, who will guide us in the development of the flexibility to sell to the energy market from datacenters
We will share valuable insights with you about the significance of embracing flexibility in energy consumption. Not only does flexibility lower your company's electricity costs and contribute to sustainability efforts, but it also holds the potential for new revenue streams. An increasing number of businesses are now investing in battery storage to capitalize on the thriving frequency regulation market. As a bonus, these batteries offer a multitude of other benefits for your organization.
Webinar 21 April, 13.15 – 14.00 "Data centers play an important role in the society. Do they use a lot of energy?"
Swedish Datacenter Industry continue our webinar series with a webinar regarding the Swedish Energy Agency's latest report has examined ways to monitor energy use from digitization. Our member organization, RISE, contributed two reports on energy consumption in data centers and cryptocurrency mining.
The findings, led by our very own board member Tor Björn Minde, reveal that data centers (expected to consume 2.8-3.2 TWh in 2022) play an important role, have an undeserved bad reputation and can successfully integrate with energy systems. A prediction of the energy use from data centers in Sweden points at 4.0-4.4 TWh in 2025 with all current building projects in operation.
Webinar 23 March, 13.00 - 14.00, "Sustainable Digital Infrastructure - Fact or Fiction?"
Keeping the same high pace, we at the Swedish Datacenter Industry now invite you to join up for our next webinar on sustainability issues - Sustainable Digital Infrastructure - Fact or Fiction?
In this webinar, led by well-known John Booth Carbon3IT, we will explore if digital infrastructure truly can be sustainable. John who is a Data Centre Energy Efficiency/Sustainability Consultant/Auditor will along with board member and Senior Advisor of Eco-DC Lars Schedin guide us through topics such as:
- Will we achieve the EUs goal that Data Centres should be carbon neutral by 2030?
- Will the current legislative activity be enough, or do we need something else?
- How is Sweden addressing this strategically and in every-day business?
- Will the intended measures satisfy the EU Commission in this regard?
- What else can we in the Data Centre sector do?
Webinar 23 February, 13.00 - 14.00, "the CLOUD is not in the sky"
Datacenters are now as crucial to all infrastructure as roads, railways and airports. And with the ongoing green and digital transformation the need for datacenters will continue to increase. One of the focuses for our organization for 2023 will be to strengthen the image of datacenters in Sweden and the Nordic countries. But how do we as an organization, and you as a member company, show that datacenters are a crucial part of our society's growth? Especially at these times?
Fuel Cells - The race for the future power is on! January 19, 2023
As we all are aware of there are plenty of ways and plenty of work on how and through what we will fuel our data centers in the future. With one eye on energy efficiency and sustainability and one eye on being competitive and reliable, the data center industry will need to focus on several factors at once. And with data centers becoming more and more of a "basic industry" along with other such industries in Sweden - steel, timber and mining - we need to be up front in the R&D and adaptation of new ways to power our centers. Fuel cells is one of the key factors in the future of data centers and energy consumption.

The importance of a robust data center - EcoDC talk on physical security
MARCH 10th, 2022
The geopolitical and security situation in Eastern Europe and in Europe as a whole has changed. In addition to that, we can state that more and more natural disasters have affected ourselves and our immediate area. No matter what happens in the future, the data center must continue to be the enabler for producing IT services. In this webinar we will highlight the importance of the physical security for a datacenter.The starting point for our security work is the customer's need for protection of their digital assets. Part of this work involves physical security, which is part of a holistic systems approach to asset protection.
So, what do we mean by physical security?
How do we work with it?
And how can we develop it even further together with our customers?
