RECAP | Roundtable: What sustainable practices have you implemented in your data center operations?

This roundtable session focused on sharing and discussing sustainable practices implemented by data center operators to reduce environmental impact and enhance energy efficiency, including renewable energy adoption, energy-efficient cooling systems, waste heat reuse, water conservation measures, and carbon footprint reduction strategies. Participants exchanged insights, challenges, and best practices for integrating sustainability into data center operations effectively.

Moderated by:
Dr. Tomas Rahkonen,
Research Director of Distributed Data Centers

Introduction:

Many organizations are increasingly adopting sustainable practices in their data center operations to reduce environmental impact. These practices may include energy-efficient hardware utilization, renewable energy sources, and advanced cooling systems. One approach involves optimizing server efficiency and implementing virtualization technologies to reduce overall energy consumption. Additionally, organizations may explore the use of renewable energy sources to power their data centers, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly computing infrastructure.
