Overview
As the demand for data grows exponentially, industries are looking to more sustainably grow their digital business footprint to maximize the benefits of the digital economy. Data centers, long perceived as egregious users of energy, are now strategically positioned to offer eco-friendly digital infrastructure. In their new role, these centers can support a material positive impact on global sustainability and climate change through the development of key innovations and efficiencies.
In this report Jon Lin and Gary Aitkenhead examine three key aspects of this new development:
- Sustainable data centers of the future will be important partners in the quest for global sustainability and mitigating the effects of climate change
- Innovation and diversity in clean and renewable power sources used by data centers can drive the reduction of carbon emissions across the technology industry
- Operational efficiencies and the optimization of technologies through the use of AI can greatly improve power usage effectiveness (PUE) across data centers
