(Boursier.com) — 2CRSi signed a contract with an American data center operator. A leading company in data centers operating exclusively with renewable energy sources has chosen 2CRSi servers to equip its next 4 computing centers. The contractual commitment represents $210 million for the next 18 months.
The construction of these 4 new “data centers” represents a key step for the future. This operator is committed to an approach of exclusive use of clean energy. It is essential for him to have the most efficient but also the most frugal computer servers, precisely one of the strengths of the products developed and manufactured by 2CRSi.
In addition to having carbon-free energy, these sites will use the thermal energy released by the servers as a heat source for agriculture. With more than 10 years of experience in the design and manufacturing of servers specifically dedicated to liquid cooling, 2CRSi now makes it possible to have data centers with “positive” carbon footprints.
The development of this client’s data centers, supported by the fiscal measures of the American ‘IRA’ (inflation reduction act), is not limited to these 4 sites currently under construction. With a roadmap until 2030, more than 30 sites, for a total of more than 1,700MW which will be installed in more than 20 American states.
This contract also concerns a 2nd firm commitment to order an additional $400 million over the next 4 years, for a contractual total of $610 million..
“Even without American tax incentives, this type of project is possible in Europe. The need for data centers will explode with the generalization of the use of artificial intelligence, and soon that of robotics. The use of heat additional in agriculture can make it possible to generalize verticalized market gardening or even cereal crops. Produce more, while consuming less. This is the adventure that we would also like to offer to European farmers who wish to benefit from the same association: carbon-free energy, center of data, vertical farming and profitability”, explains Alain Wilmouth, co-founder of 2CRSi.
