#8 Data center sustainability
In this month's edition of Evergreen with Evernex, we explore the critical role of data centers in promoting environmental sustainability. Our feature highlights key solutions for optimizing efficiency and reducing your CO2 footprint across the asset lifecycle.
1.Pioneering The Future Of Sustainable Data Centers
With the number of IoT devices growing rapidly, technology industries are on pace to account for anywhere between 7% to 20% of global energy demands by 2030. This expected rise along with factors such as environmental regulation, and increased power prices have shifted the need for greater energy efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint in the IT industry.
This article explores the solution of modular systems, a way to extend the life of computing ecosystems, to help drive IT sustainability.
2. An introduction to ITAD, a key component of sustainability in IT
ITAD, which is short for Information Technology Asset Disposition, is expected to become a $24.8 billion business by 2027.
This eye-popping projection is due to the increasing demand for secure and sustainable IT asset disposal services as companies scramble to enhance their sustainability strategies.
Our latest eBook, ITAD matters: harnessing the power of IT asset disposition, explores the reasons why ITAD should be key component of an organization’s sustainability efforts, and why a proactive approach to this issue can yield great benefits.
3.Data center sustainability becoming the norm, not the exception
Gartner research estimates that the proportion of companies implementing a data center infrastructure sustainability program will rise from about 5% in 2022 all the way to 75% by 2027, as sustainability becomes an increasingly central consideration for cost optimization and risk management. One solution highlighted in the article that can help reduce e-waste and save money is product lifecycle extension. Evernex is a leader in third-party maintenance, helping organisations extend the life of their multi-vendor data center equipment. To learn more, get in touch with our support team.
