IDC's research consistently finds that colocation datacenters outperform enterprise-owned facilities in key sustainability metrics, including energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and resource management. In this first-ever IDC MarketScape competitive assessment on datacenter sustainability, IDC analyzes key vendors in the colocation space and their role in providing environmental stewardship and innovation.

Read why Equinix has been named a Leader:

  • Achieving sustainability goals and implementing innovative approaches to energy management.
  • Water management innovation and heat reuse program.
  • Customer decarbonization instruments and providing granular data for reporting.
  • Green financing and investment in next-generation sustainable technologies.
Sustainability has evolved from a nice-to-have corporate initiative to a core strategic imperative in supplier selection. Partnering with a sustainable colocation provider delivers a dual benefit: reduced operational costs and enhanced ESG standing.
