In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, advancements like artificial intelligence (AI) present incredible opportunities. However, as AI continues to permeate various industries, it also demands increased energy for operation, particularly in data centers housing approximately 120 zettabytes of data. This surge in data center expansion and energy consumption coincides with a critical global need to reduce CO2 emissions and combat climate change. Thus, data center operators and IT solution providers face the challenge of balancing energy-intensive technologies with sustainability goals while maintaining competitiveness and profitability.
