Cloud upstart offers free heat if you host its edge servers
A UK cloud startup is offering to install its edge server hardware physically within organizations to provide free heat, in exchange for reducing its own location and cooling costs.But don't expect you can use the scheme to get your home electric bill down: it confirmed to us it is"business only."
Deep Green is claiming a British first for its setup, which provides heat to businesses and public swimming pools, reducing their energy bills. It involves a mini datacenter deployment with the IT equipment immersed in a liquid cooling fluid with a heat exchanger to transfer the heat energy on to where it is needed.
The technology has already been deployed at Exmouth Leisure Centre in south west England, where the waste heat from a dozen servers is being used to warm the swimming pool. This is expected to reduce the pool's energy requirements by 62 percent, saving them over £20,000 a year and also reducing their carbon dioxide emissions, we're told.
This deployment will be followed by further installations in Bristol and Manchester in the near future, according to Deep Green. The company installs the kit for free, and also covers the electricity and maintenance costs of the infrastructure. Similar projects using waste heat from datacenters are already bin use at various locations, but on a much larger scale, recycling the heat from an entire datacenter to be used by a local community. Such a scheme was announced by
