A breakthrough in the field of molecular data storage was recently revealed proving that high volumes of data can effectively be stored in individual molecules. This research could lead to new, high-density data storage systems that potentially hold more than 25 terabytes of data per square inch.

Data centers chew through a huge amount of power, thanks largely to the cooling. To help fight that on both fronts, the world’s largest data center is set to be built in Norway, making use of the chilly Arctic climate to keep the servers cool while drawing all of its power from renewable sources.

Businesses are being forced to store huge amounts of data, and manufacturers are ramping up the capacity of their hardware to cope with the load. The latest product of that practice is the 60TB SAS SSD from Seagate, the world's largest solid state drive.

A desalination project proposed for California’s central coast would draw water from one of the world's deepest submarine canyons, making it potentially less harmful to ocean life. The Deep Water Desal facility would require substantially less energy to operate than typical desalination plants.

Deep learning AI has been put to work in intelligent drones, sequencing genomes, and even keeping cats off the lawn. Now, Google has set its system, DeepMind, loose on its massive data centers, and drastically cut the cost of cooling these facilities in the process.
-
Data centers use a lot of power, they create a lot of heat, and it helps if they're close to populated areas. With that in mind, Microsoft recently anchored an unmanned data center to the bottom of the sea.
-
Information and communications technology consumes a full 10 percent of the world’s electricity, meaning that whenever a new data center is designed, its efficiency is of paramount concern. EcoDataCenter will be the world’s first climate-positive facility.
-
We're creating more data than ever before, and all of those 1s and 0s have to be stored somewhere. With this in mind Apple has announced that it's spending €1.7 billion (around US$1.9 billion) on two brand new European data centers that will be powered entirely from renewable energy sources.
-
Facebook has launched a new dashboard that lets users monitor the efficiency of data centers in near real time.
-
Google has created a website that provides a glimpse into the other-worldly looks of its eco-friendly data centers.
-
Google has been working to make its data centers as green as possible.
-
Data center operator Interxion has installed five Podtime sleeping pods at its London data center campus to help maintain staffing levels during the upcoming Olympics.
