If DCs Were a Country, It Would Be in the Top 10 for Power Consumption If datacenter electricity demand were concentrated into a single country, it would be among the top 10 power-consuming nations. This startling comparison reminds us just how significant our industry’s impact has become. How can we ensure that datacenters lead the way in responsible energy use rather than just being a growing source of energy consumption? #Datacenters #Energy #Top10

Dear datacenter industry colleague, and esteemed internet users, do you also feel that lately there's a lot of green 🌿 talk but no action? Yes me too, especially in datacenter world! 🖥️ So let me tell what can be done, when you move out of the #cloud into #reality. In only 14 months since #ZUR3 opening - Growing from 0 load factor Design #PUE already achieved and dropping ↘️ Water-cooled chillers with 0 Water usage effectiveness (#WUE) 💦 100% #renewable energy, with a #CUE near 0. ⚡ -> SDEA Gold Plus certification 🥇 Thank you SDEA for leading the way in certifying datacenter efforts beyond words, into reality. And a bigger thank you to the #engineering team in Zurich for the wonderful results achieved in the last 3 years in the Campus, it has been a pleasure to work with such a world-class team! 📖 See you in Data Center Nation Zurich soon, not to talk about it... But do something about it!

Retour sur le WebiNR public organisé par l'ISIT-CH. Le WebiNR s'est tenu le 28 Octobre autour de l'évaluation de l'empreinte du numérique. A cette occasion, l'ISIT-CH recevait Babak Falsafi Président de SDEA & Christine Morisseau, Responsable RSE IT des HUG - Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève pour une table ronde à distance autour des enjeux de l'évaluation de l'empreinte du numérique, des méthodes d'évaluation existantes pour mieux comprendre les impacts au sein de son organisation et des données disponibles et sur lesquelles s'appuyer pour réaliser ces évaluations. En début de webinaire, 5 entreprises suisses et françaises sont venues présenter leur outil d'évaluation pour mieux comprendre les spécificités de différents outils disponibles sur le marché. Merci à : EasyVirt, Greenspector, MIKUJY, ScaleDynamics, Resilio I B Corp certified pour leur participation. Le replay est disponible ici : https://lnkd.in/ebprxRXQ

Getting ready for our panel on "AI: Investment and Growth projected on the Swiss market" together with Babak Falsafi, Yves Zischek and Stefan Troxler. Certainly an interesting topic leading to many views and takes. We look forward to it already. #AI #SecurePowerDACH Schneider Electric #Switzerland

That's why reducing energy use isn’t just about cutting costs – it’s about #responsibility, sustainability, and setting a higher standard. Your IT infrastructure doesn’t just power your business; it shapes your #sustainability.

📈 Double the Growth, Double the Emissions? Datacenter power demand is on track to drive a 100% increase in CO₂ emissions by 2030. This statistic may be alarming, but it doesn’t have to be inevitable. The path forward is clear: efficiency measured and not guessed, better IT utilization, low-carbon energy. Let’s redefine what growth looks like – sustainable, efficient, and future-proof. #CO2 #Emissions #CarbonFootprint

Optimizing IT & Datacenter Efficiency: Better Together 🤝 What good is an efficient datacenter if the IT systems inside are running underutilized servers? What value does an optimized IT infrastructure have if it’s sitting in a datacenter that wastes energy? Datacenter and IT efficiency go hand in hand – and with the SDEA Navigator, you can measure and optimize both, ensuring that every watt counts, from your servers to your cooling systems. #Datacenter #IT #Efficiency

🌍 On Our Way to the OCP Global Summit in San Jose! 🌱 We're looking forward to explore how sustainability metrics can drive efficiency in datacenters and tackle key operational challenges. Our president, Babak Falsafi, will join the panel titled "Utilizing Sustainability Metrics to Bring Efficiency in Datacenters" at this year's #OCPSummit24 to share insights on overcoming barriers and leveraging metrics for optimized sustainability in datacenter operations. 💡 Babak will be joined by industry leaders Murugasamy Nachimuthu, Shruti Sethi, Miranda G. Gardiner, LEED Fellow, and Jeff Autor to discuss how these metrics can shape a more efficient, sustainable future for datacenters. 📅 When: October 16, 2024, 11:05am – 11:30am 📍 Where: San Jose Convention Center, Concourse Level - 210BF If you're attending, be sure to connect with us and join the conversation on sustainable datacenter practices!

Oracle and SMRs – Microsoft and Three Mile Island: Digital giants turning to nuclear has made quite some headlines lately (and led to engaging discussions on this platform). It's clear that as AI reshapes the digital landscape, the energy demands on our infrastructure are hitting unprecedented levels. And nuclear power is emerging as a key contender to meet these demands, as outlined in a recent RTS - Radio Télévision Suisse segment by Sophie Iselin, featuring our president, Babak Falsafi. Is nuclear energy the answer, or should we reflect on whether all uses of AI truly justify the environmental cost they incur?
