As digital transformation of business operations and our personal lives accelerates, Data Center capacity needs to keep up. At the same time pressure is mounting to grow capacity in an environmentally responsible way. Data Center operators must mobilize plans that include energy optimization, reductions of waste, restrictions on water usage and minimized greenhouse gas emissions.
