冰岛凭借独特资源成为全球数据中心新热土
Tucked between glaciers and volcanoes, Iceland has become an unlikely hub for the world’s most data-hungry companies. The island nation now hosts several massive data centers that run on 100% renewable energy, mostly geothermal and hydroelectric power. It is a quiet revolution in an industry known for its enormous electricity consumption.
The appeal is not just clean power. Iceland’s cool climate means servers can be cooled naturally with outside air for most of the year, slashing energy costs by up to 40% compared to warmer regions. For companies processing everything from financial transactions to streaming video, these savings translate directly into higher profits.
