Data centers are one of the largest and fastest growing consumers of electricity. Worldwide, the top five data center providers alone consume over
With greater public awareness of sustainability issues, data centers may soon be pushed to report on energy usage and carbon footprint, and to conform to efficiency standards. For forward thinking managers, there’s an opportunity to get ahead of industry requirements by taking a leadership role in both efficiency and reporting practices.
