Low Energy Data Storage System

Data storage systems reducing energy consumption and space utilization

Low Energy Data Storage System

Data storage systems reducing energy consumption and space utilization

  • World Alliance Member
  • Featured Solution
  • Labelled Solution
Label Date July 3, 2020
From Switzerland
Maturity stage TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1

Global data is growing exponentially and experts estimate a 5X growth by 2025. The rapid growth is due to the increase in high-quality video production, digital health technologies, Blockchain and smart contracts etc. The consequence is that the data has to be stored somewhere - typically in data centres. Currently, data centres consume about 2% to 4% of the global energy production, and, at the current rate of growth, 10% to 20% of the global energy will be required by 2025. Swiss Vault is addressing this problem by designing the next-generation data management systems that reduce energy consumption and space utilization. By building long-lasting modular systems that can be repaired, repurposed, or recycled, we reduce the environmental impact.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Swiss Vault's systems reduce the energy consumption for large data storage by up to 80% compared to standard hyperconverged data servers.
  • The small volume, light weight systems decrease space by 80%, reducing the need for construction of new buildings.
  • By decreasing energy & cement, the systems directly reduce the Carbon footprint for data.
  • The utility of a Data Storage System is maximized to its end-of-life, reducing the volume of toxic electronic waste.

The Financial Benefits

  • Swiss Vault's systems reduce the energy costs to 1/5th and space costs to 1/5th compared to rack mounted servers.
  • This reduces the overhead running costs for electricity consumption and space by 80%.
