Using the results obtained from the generated visualizations, the companies have completed a trial to optimize the data center’s air-conditioning power consumption.

Temperature distribution visualization, which employs optical fiber-based multipoint temperature sensing technology developed by Fujitsu Laboratories, is the first of its kind in the world to involve the large-scale deployment of such technology at a data center.

The ability to visualize temperature distribution makes it possible to greatly improve the efficiency of the data center’s air conditioning, thereby reducing annual power consumption by an anticipated 20%, equivalent to 350,000 kWh, or 120 tons of CO2 emissions.
