Data centres huge energy guzzlers


Azman says application developers need to prioritise creating apps that are not power guzzlers.

THE AIMS Group (AIMS), South-East Asia’s leading carrier-neutral data services provider, said according to experts, data centres would consume three times as much energy over the next decade. It said this rate of increase was a worrying trend for the local data centre industry.

In 2015, worldwide data centres consumed more than 416 Terawatt-hours of electricity – significantly more than the entire power electricity consumption of the UK at 300 Terawatt-hours.
