Data Center Sustainability Series: Every watt counts.

Watch this webinar series on demand

Data center companies are leading the way in sustainability goals and reducing their impact on the environment dramatically. Many data centers are matching their energy usage with renewable energy and making commitments like Microsoft’s to be carbon negative by 2030. With the growth of this energy intensive industry combined with its environmental commitment, every watt counts. Watch one or all of the webinars in this sustainability series to dive into the basics of critical power and specific technology examples that can drive efficiency, learn how data center automation can help you meet your sustainability goals, and rethink your service strategy to make your operations more sustainable and available. 

Rethink your service strategy to meet your data center sustainability goals

As data centers change their business models to match their strong sustainability goals, rethinking service strategies could help achieve them. This webinar will explore service best practices that deliver continuity of service, while reducing waste during unnecessary maintenance, optimizing efficiency through upgrades and much more.

Are microgrids the future for sustainable data center operations?

Most data center companies have carbon neutral missions and have been deploying initiatives to lower their carbon footprint for years. Many are matching their energy usage with renewable PPA’s, others are focusing on innovative cooling strategies, but are microgrids the answer to truly carbon neutral data center operations? Microgrids enable integration of multiple sources of power, from utility power and gensets to on site renewables and fuel cell technology. On top of providing secure and stable power, microgrids can generate new revenues by allowing data center owners to participate in the energy market. This session will feature experts in the theory of microgrid technology and system design principles to explore the benefits of a data center as a microgrid.   

Speakers: 

  • Gary Rackliffe, VP Market Development & Innovation, Power Grids, ABB

  • John Glassmire, Senior Advisor, Grid Edge Solutions, ABB

  • Dario Cicio, Global Marketing & Sales Manager, Grid Edge Solutions, ABB

  • Danny Lyonette, Industry Network Leader, Grid Automation, ABB

Data center technologies for scalable and sustainable design

With demand for data centers growing at an unprecedented rate, data center operators are under pressures to keep up with demand in a timely, but environmentally responsible way. This webinar will highlight technologies you can leverage to lower your footprint, like the industry's most efficient UPS system and eco-efficient Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS)
