Xylem Expands Water Solutions for Europe's Data Centres

Data centres, the backbone of our digital age, face mounting pressure to balance performance, sustainability, and compliance. Water management, accounting for a significant 10% to 40% of energy costs, is a critical factor in their operations. Xylem, a global leader in water technology, is expanding its integrated water solutions in Europe to meet these challenges.

Xylem offers a comprehensive, consultative model for data centre operators, covering cooling, heat recovery, HVAC, firefighting, and wastewater management. This holistic approach helps operators navigate Europe's fragmented regulatory landscape and address community concerns about data centres' environmental footprint, particularly water use and energy consumption.

Innovatively, Xylem implements heat distribution systems that channel excess heat from data centres to nearby communities for heating. This not only reduces energy costs but also contributes to sustainability and community engagement. Xylem's strong track record, including collaborations with tech giants like AWS, positions it well to tackle Europe's unique regulatory and environmental challenges.

Strategic water system design is vital for operational efficiency, environmental responsibility, and cost control in data centres. Xylem's expertise in this area is further bolstered by its expansion plans in Europe.

As global demand for data centres surges, driven by AI and decentralisation of digital infrastructure, so does the need for sustainable and efficient water management solutions. Xylem's full-service approach, coupled with its understanding of Europe's regulatory landscape and community concerns, makes it an ideal partner for data centre operators seeking to balance performance, sustainability, and compliance.
