As the role of data centre keeps increasing, so will concerns over its huge energy use, increased energy cost, associated impacts on climate change and more corporate social responsibility pressures. In recent years, the data center industry has made excellent progress in enhancing energy efficiency and adopting renewable energy sources. However, a sole focus on energy efficiency may cause burden shifting and overlook other relevant environmental problems stemming from other parts of the data centres’ life cycle.

In this webinar, we will be discussing a life cycle based approach to assess data centre sustainability and how that will benefit us to designing truly sustainably efficient data centres. We will also compare how businesses understand life cycle approach in the development of efficient data centers and where are the rallying points for environment and business to come together for a sustainable future.
