Sustainability Isn’t Optional—It’s Infrastructure Strategy
As digital transformation accelerates, the environmental impact of data centers is under growing scrutiny. Hyperscale AI workloads are driving unprecedented compute density, increasing power demand and heat output. With data centers now consuming up to 3% of global electricity, the need for more sustainable digital infrastructure is clear.
To meet these demands, global leaders like IBM and TCS are embedding sustainability across design, operations, and energy sourcing. From efficient cooling systems to renewable energy procurement, green infrastructure is quickly becoming the new standard.

Green Data Center Best Practices
Across the industry, a few strategies consistently stand out for driving efficiency and reducing carbon emissions:
| Practice | Description |
| High-Efficiency Cooling |
Cold aisle containment, liquid cooling, and free cooling technologies that reduce PUE |
| Renewable Energy Sourcing | Utilizing solar, wind, and long-term PPAs to minimize carbon footprint |
| Circular IT Lifecycle | Extending equipment life through reuse, refurbishment, and secure asset disposal programs |
| AI-Driven DCIM | Using AI-powered Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) tools for real-time power/cooling optimization |
