Data Center Sustainability

Overview

The internet is everywhere. It's not only on the computers, but the mobile phones, televisions and portable music players. Very few users of digital content consider how data arrives on these devices. The digital age is being delivered via massive server farms housed in data centers that are managed by thousands upon thousands of Information Technology (IT) professionals. For a very long time, the only concern for these professionals was to process more data and to do it at a faster rate. Now that density at data centers has reached a tipping point, the issues of power consumption and environment regulation are at the face of the industry.
