The data center industry is facing one of the biggest challenges of our time: sustainability and energy efficiency. With global energy consumption on the rise, many of the leading providers are increasingly turning to renewable energy, carbon-neutral operating models and innovative technologies to reduce their carbon footprint. Companies such as Google, Microsoft and AWS have committed to running their data centers entirely on renewable energy. Green Mountain and EcoDataCenter are among the pioneers when it comes to using sustainable energy sources and climate-positive data centers. Equinix, Digital Realty and Iron Mountain are also investing heavily in energy-efficient infrastructures and sustainable operating processes.
