Protecting the Future

The data center industry has a strong track record when it comes to energy-efficient design and operation. In 2010, the average data center PUE was above 2.0, but through concerted effort and investments, that average dropped below 1.6 by 2017. PUE levels have largely stagnated since then, while operator’s goals have expanded to include emissions, water consumption and waste. Achieving those goals may require more radical approaches than those employed in the past.

  Tackling the Data Center Sustainability Challenge

Meeting the Growing Demand for Capacity

The data center industry isn’t facing the challenge of reducing emissions, water consumption, and waste while keeping capacity at current levels. Instead, it must make progress toward those goals while continuing to meet an almost insatiable demand for compute and storage capacity.

As owners and operators continue to expand their footprint to meet demand, increasingly deploying computing resources closer to the users they serve, they are beginning to face  pushback from municipalities related to the impact of new data centers on local water and energy resources.

 

Driving to Net Zero

As a result, the ability to reduce the industry’s impact on the environment has become intertwined with the industry’s ability to meet demand. Without progress toward net zero operations, the industry could face more challenges in developing the capacity the market is demanding.

This won’t necessarily be an easy evolution, and it won’t happen overnight. Particularly with renewable energy use, the industry is dependent on grid-connected renewable capacity, as well as advances in clean hydrogen production and fuel cells.

But, while these technologies advance, progress can continue to be made. By driving out operational inefficiencies and driving up utilization rates, data center operators can maximize the value of every watt of energy they use. Simultaneously, the migration from water-intensive to water-efficient or water-free cooling systems can preserve resources in areas experiencing water stress.

 

Partnering for Progresss
