A recent analysis of 8,800 data centers worldwide reveals that nearly 80% are located in regions outside the ideal temperature range. For optimal performance and energy efficiency, the recommended ambient air temperature for these facilities is between 18ºC and 27ºC.
Key Findings:
- Sub-optimal Locations: Approximately 7,000 facilities are situated in climates colder than the ideal range.
- Heat Challenges: Nearly 600 data centers are located in areas exceeding the 27ºC threshold, increasing cooling costs.
- Analysis Source: Data provided by *Tom’s Hardware* based on global facility mapping.
The Best Locations in Brazil
For companies looking to establish infrastructure in Brazil, the Central-West, Southeast, and South regions are identified as the most suitable. These areas offer climate conditions that align most closely with the international standards for data center hardware longevity and efficiency.
