Geneva-based Infomaniak has been recovering 100 per cent of the electricity it uses since November 2024.

The recycled power will be able to fuel the centralised heating network in the Canton of Geneva and benefit around 6,000 households.

The centre is currently operating at 25 per cent of its potential capacity. It aims to reach full capacity by 2028.

Swiss data centre leads the way for a greener cloud industry

The data centre hopes to point to a greener way of operating in the electricity-heavy cloud industry.

"In the real world, data centres convert electricity into heat. With the exponential growth of the cloud, this energy is currently being released into the atmosphere and wasted,” Boris Siegenthaler, Infomaniak's Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, told news site FinanzNachrichten.

“There is an urgent need to upgrade this way of doing things, to connect these infrastructures to heating networks and adapt building standards."

Infomaniak has received several awards for the energy efficiency of its complexes, which operate without air conditioning - a rarity for hot data centres.

The company also builds infrastructure underground so that it doesn’t have an impact on the environment.

Swiss data centre recycles heat for homes

At Infomaniak, all the electricity that powers equipment like servers, inverters and ventilation is converted into heat at a temperature of 40 to 45C.

This is then channelled to an air/water exchanger which filters it into a hot water circuit. Heat pumps are used to increase its temperature to 67C in summer and 85C in winter.

How many homes will be heated by the data centre?

When the centre is operating at full capacity, it will supply Geneva’s heating network with 1.7 megawatts, the amount needed for 6,000 households per year or for 20,000 people to take a 5-minute shower every day.

This means the Canton of Geneva can save 3,600 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2eq) of natural gas every year, or 5,500 tCO2eq of pellets annually.

The system in place at Infomaniak’s data centre is free to be reproduced by other companies. There is a technical guide available explaining how to replicate the model and a summary for policymakers that advises how to improve design regulations and the sustainability of data centres.

need to shell out for a new laptop before the end of the year - for a lot of reasons but mainly bc support ending for win8.1 makes fixing the current beast rather pointless :/ (and. admittedly. there is a lot to fix. she's old and she has suffered.)

but my current beastie is from the last gen of laptops with a disc drive and the thought of using an external/usb disc drive is enough to make me cry tears of blood

A Complete Guide to Mastering Microsoft Azure for Tech Enthusiasts

With this rapid advancement, businesses around the world are shifting towards cloud computing to enhance their operations and stay ahead of the competition. Microsoft Azure, a powerful cloud computing platform, offers a wide range of services and solutions for various industries. This comprehensive guide aims to provide tech enthusiasts with an in-depth understanding of Microsoft Azure, its features, and how to leverage its capabilities to drive innovation and success.

Understanding Microsoft Azure

A platform for cloud computing and service offered through Microsoft is called Azure. It provides reliable and scalable solutions for businesses to build, deploy, and manage applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers. Azure offers a vast array of services, including virtual machines, storage, databases, networking, and more, enabling businesses to optimize their IT infrastructure and accelerate their digital transformation.

Cloud Computing and its Significance

Cloud computing has revolutionized the IT industry by providing on-demand access to a shared pool of computing resources over the internet. It eliminates the need for businesses to maintain physical hardware and infrastructure, reducing costs and improving scalability. Microsoft Azure embraces cloud computing principles to enable businesses to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.

Key Features and Benefits of Microsoft Azure

Scalability: Azure provides the flexibility to scale resources up or down based on workload demands, ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency.

Vertical Scaling: Increase or decrease the size of resources (e.g., virtual machines) within Azure.

Horizontal Scaling: Expand or reduce the number of instances across Azure services to meet changing workload requirements.

Reliability and Availability: Microsoft Azure ensures high availability through its globally distributed data centers, redundant infrastructure, and automatic failover capabilities.

Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Guarantees high availability, with SLAs covering different services.

Availability Zones: Distributes resources across multiple data centers within a region to ensure fault tolerance.

Security and Compliance: Azure incorporates robust security measures, including encryption, identity and access management, threat detection, and regulatory compliance adherence.

Azure Security Center: Provides centralized security monitoring, threat detection, and compliance management.

Compliance Certifications: Azure complies with various industry-specific security standards and regulations.

Hybrid Capability: Azure seamlessly integrates with on-premises infrastructure, allowing businesses to extend their existing investments and create hybrid cloud environments.

Azure Stack: Enables organizations to build and run Azure services on their premises.

Virtual Network Connectivity: Establish secure connections between on-premises infrastructure and Azure services.

Cost Optimization: Azure provides cost-effective solutions, offering pricing models based on consumption, reserved instances, and cost management tools.

Azure Cost Management: Helps businesses track and optimize their cloud spending, providing insights and recommendations.

Azure Reserved Instances: Allows for significant cost savings by committing to long-term usage of specific Azure services.

Extensive Service Catalog: Azure offers a wide range of services and tools, including app services, AI and machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT), analytics, and more, empowering businesses to innovate and transform digitally.

Learning Path for Microsoft Azure

To master Microsoft Azure, tech enthusiasts can follow a structured learning path that covers the fundamental concepts, hands-on experience, and specialized skills required to work with Azure effectively. I advise looking at the ACTE Institute, which offers a comprehensive Microsoft Azure Course.
