Seawater cooled Google data center in Finland is up and running

Seawater cooled Google data center in Finland is up and running

Data centers while immensely useful especially in the world of cloud storage have also been associated with being damaging to the environment due to the amount of power they require. They not only require power to run the servers but at the same time they require power to keep the servers cool 24x7. . In its part to contribute towards a greener environment, Google has just completed their data center in Finland, which instead of relying on blasting cold air in the data center to keep the servers cool, uses green seawater as its cooling method instead.
