The amount of data we use is rising rapidly. In fact, by 2025 the volume of data created, captured, copied, and consumed worldwide is predicted to reach 181 zettabytes, more than quadrupling 2019 figures. As data volume increases, data centers must keep up with demand and respond to evolving needs — but this raises new challenges.
Creating sustainable digital infrastructure that can cope with these new requirements is a tricky task. Increased power consumption, cooling needs, and new construction can call the green credentials of data centers into question, with sustainability now a key priority for all major stakeholders.
