EQUINIX
“ The idea behind the Platform Equinix shared usage , shared ownership model is to build more efficient infrastructures . Organisations running their own data centres , cannot get the size , scale , and skills they need to get the efficiencies that Equinix can .”
Direnc adds : “ Deploying with Equinix is the first step in an organisation ’ s sustainable digital transformation journey and results in a considerable reduction in carbon emissions compared to a traditional on-prem enterprise infrastructure .
Sr . Manager , Global Sustainability Engagement , Patricia Stamos , adds : “ By moving IT infrastructure to Platform Equinix , organisations also move their scope 1 and 2 emissions to scope 3 emissions — which means handing over the responsibility of greening their supply chain , keeping up with supplyside regulations , and the cost of investing in new sustainability-focused technologies and maintenance to Equinix .
“ Organisations who deploy on Platform Equinix receive custom Green Power Reports ( GPRs ), based on third-party verified metrics , to attest to the carbon emissions associated with their data center operation deployments at Equinix for transparency .”
