Enterprises worldwide are recognising the importance of sustainability as climate change becomes more important during boardroom discussions with new regulations looming in. However, the focus on digital transformation is causing datacentres to consume more energy than ever before.
According to Bloomberg, an optimistic projection suggests that by 2030, the information and communications technology sector will consume approximately 8% of the world’s total electricity demand, compared to 2% recorded in 2020. It is expected that storage as a proportion of datacentre (DC) energy consumption, will continue to expand and might account for as much as 38% of the overall DC power requirements by 2030, making sustainability further important.
Before integrating technology to align with an organisation’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives, it is crucial to first establish a baseline and subsequently define a target to systematically advance towards those goals. This entails adopting modern technologies specifically designed for the contemporary datacentre environment.
Several companies offer a comprehensive suite of solutions that assist organisations to achieve this, empowering them to publish a sustainability dashboard and scorecard. These solutions enable continuous optimisation of energy consumption and maximisation of resource utilisation, aiding organisations in their pursuit of achieving their sustainability goals.
