TELUS Data Center Triggers a Green Cooling Revolution
Data centers are notorious for guzzling water, gobbling energy, shooting operational costs into the stratosphere and making Sasquatch-sized carbon footprints. That reputation could begin to change this fall, when TELUS flips the switch on its groundbreaking, "super-smart" and ultra-green modular data center in Rimouski, Quebec.
With the building's start-up, the Canadian telecommunications and managed service provider is also shifting the paradigm for data-center delivery, provided by a design-build team led by Skanska USA Building Inc., New York City.
