Together, they implemented a \u201cWhite Space Cooling Optimization (WSCO)\u201d project in which AI automatically regulates the airflow in the recirculating air cabinets, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption and operating costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyone who thinks a data center is just a room full of servers hasn’t factored in the heat. The numerous servers generate large amounts of heat\u2014and too much of it can be costly: In addition to high energy costs, there is also a risk of system failures if the room temperature is not right. The solution? AI, sensors, and smart control! The WSCO system measures temperatures, uses wireless sensor and control modules, and operates with a self-learning AI engine. Operators can keep an eye on everything via a system console\u2014cooling is regulated dynamically and automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin Lang, Head of Smart Infrastructure Buildings at Siemens Austria, emphasizes: \u201cWith this AI solution, we are achieving unprecedented energy efficiency in the data center.\u201d Operating costs are falling by a six-figure amount each year\u2014while maintaining maximum uptime and minimizing the risk of outages. “This makes the data center more cost-effective and\u2014in the best sense of the word\u2014greener for Hrvatski Telekom.” The WSCO concept comprises both technical and procedural aspects: Temperature measurements are taken with precision using thermistors, while wireless sensors, control modules, and an intelligent AI engine form the backbone of the system. During the process, an optimization loop ensures continuous improvements, enabling the elimination of up to 99 percent of typical hotspots in a data center. In addition to the standard efficiency gains, the technology also enables optimized maintenance by ensuring that components are subjected to lower and more consistent loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan Viskovi\u0107, Head of the Core Network and Services Sector at Hrvatski Telekom, is pleased with the benefits: \u201cWith WSCO and AI-based cooling, we have improved the efficiency of our infrastructure, eliminated hotspots, and extended the lifespan of our equipment.\u201d The partnership between Siemens and Hrvatski Telekom is a striking example of how innovative technologies can enhance both energy efficiency and reliability. With intelligent cooling, optimized maintenance, and sustainable resource management, the data center is well-equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow. This way, digitalization becomes not only economically beneficial but also environmentally friendly\u2014and takes Croatia\u2019s digital infrastructure to a new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
