Google Data Center: Chiller No More

Google improved its data center in Belgium to be energy efficient. Thus making weather forecasting a larger factor in its network management. It has started operating a data center in Belgium that has no chiller to support its cooling systems. If the weather in Belgium gets too warm, google will need to reroute workloads. Many data centers are using free cooling to reduce their reliance on power-hungry chiller in response to the rising power consumption.
