DATA CENTRES A GREENER INDUSTRY
DATA CENTRES A GREENER INDUSTRY
EXPERT INSIGHTS FROM FABRIZIO GARRONE , ARUBA ’ S REPRESENTATIVE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CLIMATE NEUTRAL DATA CENTRE PACT
“ COP26 represents a new era of ambition for the world and also the data centre industry , as the sector continues to take steps towards becoming more sustainable and green efficient . Environmental issues continue to dominate the public discourse , especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic . As remote working has become the norm , even more organisations are now relying on outsourced data centre services and cloud computing to support their everyday operations .
As an industry , we need to work together , especially through initiatives like the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact , to provide customers with solutions that ultimately lower their operations ’ impact on the environment - such as geothermal and photovoltaic systems . It ’ s only then we ’ ll see measures that will prioritise protecting the environment and offer true green options that will allow us to carry on with our way of doing business and at the same time , protect the world we live in .”
