For many locations is a great solution. I use DX technology which is good for most locations. No water supply (underground or lake) needed. Highly efficient, highly reliable, small footprint. The savings come by reducing KWs for cooling. Depending a few factors, you can expect about 15% reduction in overall electric. Assume 30% overhead for traditions AC and 5% more for UPS support of AC in your capacity plan. Cut that in half for geothermal. about 1.15KW per KW of equipment versus 1.35KW per KW of equipment. Save on electric bill, maintenance, and also adds "capacity" to your capital investment of data center space.
