The data center and supercomputing storage industry is still in its infancy, according to experts in Advanced Technology (AT). This field encompasses the development of artificial intelligence, real-time collaboration tools, 3D visualization, cryptocurrency data mining, and more. However, the rapid growth in demand for data centers is outpacing the available power supply in many regions. For instance, in Northern Virginia’s Data Center Alley, companies are experiencing waiting periods of up to seven years for additional power service hookups.
As the AT industry demands ever-higher levels of reliability, with stringent N+1+1+1 redundancy requirements, renewable energy sources like wind and solar fall short. SMR technology, with its small footprint and ability to be located adjacent to data centers, offers an ideal solution. ANMR’s can provide dedicated, uninterrupted power to meet the AT industry’s growing needs.
