T-Systems and Intel: Cooperation for more economic effectiveness and energy efficiency
It is estimated that the world¹s data centers consume more than 120 billion kWh per year. This amounts to the output of about 44 nuclear power plants and costs of around 5.48 billion euros.
Power consumption associated with IT will continue to rise in the future. Quite apart from the economic issues, this poses challenges in terms of security, availability and the environment. The Data Center 2020 project is based on the premise that data centers could halve the amount of energy currently used for air conditioning and decrease their carbon emissions by 80 percent.

Manuel Mair filmed the creation of the test laboratory from the beginning. A commented picture rail provides an insight into the development of the construction – from the very first sketch in February 2008 until today.
The DataCenter 2020 in Munich’s Euro Industrial Park is part of the existing technology partnership between T-Systems and Intel. A primary focus of this partnership is energy-efficiency in the ICT sector. Main objective of the test lab is to issue requirements, recommendations and guidelines for an energy-efficient operation of new or existing data centers based upon the results collected during simulations and tests. The results are made freely accessible to everyone.
From today, this website follows the research of Intel and T-Systems in the new test data center, the DataCenter 2020 set up in Munich.
