“There isn’t a singular answer or a one-stop solution to data center sustainability. Instead, there is a need for an industrywide conversation on not only the use of clean energy, but also other actions that drive sustainability, like new technologies, GHG emissions, renewable energy, resource efficiency, ethical sourcing, and the circular economy. In this Service, we discuss different ways operators can be more sustainable.”
“Data center thermal management is red hot. Increasing compute requirements, fueled by digitization, continue to drive data center buildout and a move towards higher density, requiring new approaches to thermal management.”
