Extremely cold temperatures can affect server hardware, risking malfunctions. Conversely, heatwaves pose a threat to cooling systems, leading to potential overheating.

To mitigate these risks, some companies are investing in specialized infrastructure and smarter HVAC systems that adjust dynamically to temperature fluctuations, ensuring a stable environment for their data.

While the connection between weather and data storage might seem tenuous, it’s an issue that savvy companies are addressing head-on. Embracing these adaptations might be a defining factor in building resilient cloud infrastructure. The last section concludes with an unexpected twist on this journey.
