Ahead of the Data Centre Ireland conference, Wisetek (Booth 521) are calling on all businesses to improve their sustainability practices when it comes to data centres.
With data centres expected to consume around 20% of the world’s power supply by 2025 and an estimated 59.4 million tonnes of e-waste in total produced globally in 2022, the environmental impact is significant. The decommissioning of data centres is one of the biggest contributors to e-waste, making it crucial for businesses to be aware of just how their e-waste is handled.
The backbone of our flourishing digital economy is the data centre. Modern data centres are quite resource-intensive, consuming about one per cent of total electricity consumption worldwide, or 205 terawatt-hours. Reducing this figure will require greater efforts in data centre resource management.”
notes Donal Gibson, Head of International Sales at Wisetek
