White Paper
HOW TO REDUCE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND CARBON FOOTPRINT OF DATA CENTRES AND IT ROOMS?
This white paper examines how to cut the energy use and carbon footprint of data centers and IT rooms through Orange Business’ “Flexible Datacenter” model. Data centers account for 1–1.3% of global electricity demand and over 1% of GHG emissions. Orange applies eco-responsible design with free cooling, renewable energy, waste reduction, and optimized rack density to reduce impact. Case studies show up to 80% annual energy savings, near-zero water usage, and extended equipment lifespans. The report stresses collaboration: while providers build greener infrastructure, customers must adopt sustainable IT practices and efficient application design.
