Balancing Redundancy with Sustainability to be Both Resilient and Efficient
Data centers run 24/7 and are now caught between the Service Level Agreements that demand 99.999% uptime and the ESG report that scrutinizes every kilowatt of energy used. Meanwhile, your board wants both redundancy and a path to net-zero emissions. Traditional wisdom suggests you can’t have both, as every redundant backup chiller and N+1 configuration pushes you further from sustainability targets. That wisdom is outdated because smart operators are rewriting the rules. They’re already achieving Tier 3 redundancy while driving PUE below 1.3. They’re meeting stringent uptime requirements without sacrificing their sustainability commitments. The old trade-offs no longer apply when …

Water Usage Effectiveness: Quantifying the Impact on Sustainability
Water usage effectiveness (WUE) is a metric introduced to the industry by The Green Grid, a global consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers. Designed to address the global concerns of water scarcity, it measures how efficiently a data center consumes water- a critical measurement for today’s sustainability-focussed landscape. Analysed in conjunction with power usage effectiveness (PUE), the two metrics form an overall picture that allows data center operators to make more impactful decisions that can form part of a meaningful sustainability strategy. Water Usage in Data Centers? The main uses of water in a data center are …
