As demand for AI and other advanced computing capabilities grows, so do resource requirements for digital infrastructure, prompting organizations to carefully assess how their on-premises data strategies align with business outcomes and sustainability goals. This report explores the often-overlooked sustainability benefits of colocation, including energy efficiency investments and access to renewable energy sources.

Highlights:

  • Enterprise leaders view efficiency and sustainability of data centers as critical factors in their operations.
  • Colocation services allow companies to share resources, reducing their environmental impact and improving their access to clean energy at better rates than many organizations can achieve.
  • Choosing data center partners that prioritize sustainability can significantly reduce indirect emissions, drive savings on power costs and simplify sustainability reporting efforts.
The right colocation partner can transform data centers from an environmental and regulatory risk to a strategic advantage, driving competitiveness and meaningful progress of sustainability goals.
