Enterprises worldwide are recognising the importance of sustainability as climate change becomes more important during boardroom discussions -and new regulations loom. However, the focus on digital transformation is causing data centers to consume more energy than ever before.
According to Bloomberg, an optimistic projection suggests that by 2030, the information and communications technology (ICT) sector will consume approximately 8% of the world's total electricity demand, compared to the 2% recorded in 2020. It is expected that storage as a proportion of data center (DC) energy consumption, will continue to expand and might account for as much as 38% of the overall DC power requirements by 2030 - making sustainability more important.
