AI is driving new demand for energy in data centers. But it would be short-sighted to think of AI solely in terms of new demand. It can also be part of the sustainability solution for data center operators. At Equinix, we’re using adaptive AI controls to optimize operational efficiency in our data centers. We started with a targeted deployment at several of our facilities, and we’re evaluating a broader rollout to come. We’ve achieved promising results so far: In our Equinix FR6 data center in Frankfurt, we reduced energy consumption by 900 MWh per year. We lowered power usage effectiveness (PUE) at…
