Global Bigdata Conference

Energy Saving: In 2014, Google acquired an AI startup, DeepMind, to slash costs and improve efficiencies in its data centers. The AI engine automatically managed power usage by discovering and reporting inefficiencies across 120 data center variables - fans, cooling systems, windows etc. The results have been positive. Google has been able to reduce its total data center power consumption by 15 percent, saving the company millions over the next several years. Additionally, the company saved 40 percent alone on power consumed for cooling purposes.
