From streaming a movie on Netflix, to e-commerce and e-banking, we rely on data centres to process and communicate information at lightning speeds. Yet, they are energy and water guzzlers. How are governments balancing the lucrative opportunity of building more data centres, but also managing their large electricity footprint? And what does an eco-friendly data centre look like? Jaime Ho speaks to Darren Webb, co-founder and CEO of Evolution Data Centres, which specialises in sustainable data infrastructure.
At Evolution we are acutely aware of the full sustainable lifecycle of a Data Centre and take this into consideration as we plan, build, and operate our facilities.
Everything from choosing the correct location, material selection, efficient design, and renewable power source, through to how you will operate reflect on the level of impact these facilities have on the environment.
To ensure you cover the full lifecycle of a truly sustainable Data Centre you need to plan from initial conception though to commissioning. You need to incorporate this from initial concept to ensure you are really delivering a fully sustainable facility.
If not, are you too late?
