Five ways data centers can save water
A long corridor with a sleek black floor, glowing green lights in the ceiling and rows of LEDS on either wall. It’s no secret that the data centers that form the hidden engine of today’s AI boom can consume huge amounts of water, mostly for cooling purposes, and dealing with this issue is critical for any organisation in the technology sector.

Designing for a Volatile Climate: Why Data Centers Must Converge Resilience and Sustainability
The ground beneath digital infrastructure is shifting, literally. Climate volatility is a present-day constraint reshaping how data centers are planned, built and operated. For years, decisions centered on cost, connectivity and energy availability. In 2026 those priorities are being overtaken by a more complex set of considerations, such as heat stress, flood exposure and water scarcity. In Europe, this shift is being accelerated by policy.
Turning constraints into opportunity
Sustainability conversations around data centers are becoming more urgent, particularly as AI workloads scale at an unprecedented pace. Resource efficiency, especially water use, must remain a priority as digital infrastructure expands. With AI investment increasing, the pressure on data centers to deliver both performance and sustainability is intensifying. Focusing solely on consumption risks overlooks a larger opportunity.
It’s time to rethink what sustainable AI infrastructure really means
Kate Steele, Director, EMEA HPC/AI at Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group, explains why closed-loop liquid cooling and heat reuse could help data centres move beyond simply reducing their environmental impact. 93% of IT leaders in EMEA are planning to increase AI investments in the next year. With AI adoption accelerating at pace, infrastructure demands are rising fast, bringing energy use, cooling requirements and environmental impact into sharper focus.
Liquid Gold in the Data Center: How CIOs Can Turn Heat Waste into Heat Wealth
World Water Day is a timely reminder that every industry must scrutinise how it uses water and, critically, how it can limit consumption. Data centers are often drawn into this conversation, particularly in a landscape defined by rapid AI adoption. With 93% of IT leaders in EMEA planning to increase AI investments in the next 12 months, the scale and intensity of AI-driven workloads are set to rise significantly.
Liquid cooling vs air cooling: the five key differences for data centers
Inside a data center. The global demand for technologies such as AI, high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud services is accelerating, and the efficiency of the cooling systems used in the data centers behind such technologies are becoming ever more important. Today, data centers account for around 1.5% of worldwide electricity use: by 2030, technologies such as AI mean that the energy demands will double worldwide, according to the International Energy Agency.
The Thermal Tipping Point: Why Air Cooling Can’t Handle AI’s Future
Future-proofing your data center starts with how you cool it. The method chosen is no longer a technical consideration, but a strategic one. The reason for this is simple: as data centers scale to support AI and increase their compute density, air cooling is hitting its physical limits, beyond which it is no longer useful.

Cracking the code: Holding anonymous cybercriminals accountable - Mooij -v- Persons Unknown
Cracking the code Holding anonymous cybercriminals accountable - Mooij -v- Persons Unknown In the ever-evolving landscape of cyberspace, legal disputes can arise where the identity of the alleged wrongdoers are shrouded in anonymity. These disputes present unique challenges for the traditional legal frameworks- particularly determining accountability. A recent case that has explored this area further is Mooij -v- Persons Unknown [2024] EWHC 814 (Comm) (Mooji).
Bonds of the Malerí by Kate Steele
Coltas Oldarie stirred at the sound of his name and opened his eyes. He lay still for a moment, then commented in a resigned voice, “It happened again.” His gaze wandered the room, a utilitarian yet pleasant place, equipped with a bed and a small table with two chairs. It was a typical room in the Contaral Healing Complex, the kind he was well familiar with as this was where he worked. Col let his gaze connect with his friend’s.
