Data Center Knowledge | May 19, 2022 Sustainability and carbon footprint reduction are more important than ever in the modern world. Many governments around the globe are working together to reduce emissions, decarbonize their economies, lower energy usage, and address climate change. Data centers have an important role to play in achieving these objectives. According to the International Energy Agency, the number of Internet users worldwide has doubled since 2010 and global Internet traffic has expanded fifteenfold.
