How Digital Transformation Can Advance the Decarbonization of Data Centers

Increasing demand for data processing and storage is catalyzing energy consumption. The data center industry already accounts for 1% of global electricity use. This rising demand directly impacts electrical infrastructure as growingly complex devices are generating torrents of data. The costlier solution to more sustainable operations is implementing updated hardware and energy storage technology in every data center. However, a more affordable, immediate remedy can be found in software technology. As advancements in digital technology continue to require digital infrastructure to make it all work – fiber, network, storage, etc. – the demand for digital infrastructure that happens behind the scenes often goes unnoticed. This invisible infrastructure for data centers encompasses a wide range of systems and technologies that are essential for the reliable, efficient operation of data centers but are not typically visible to end users or customers. As digital technologies are utilized to decarbonize data centers across the globe by optimizing energy usage, how can organizations best harness the power of digital transformation to optimize efficiency and lower carbon emissions at their data centers? Increasing Efficiency with Data Center Infrastructure Management Tools Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) tools help organizations manage and monitor their data centers, playing […]
