Sustainability Requires Intelligence

It’s time for definitive action on sustainability

Are you ready?

All data comes with hidden environmental costs—not just economic costs.

For organizations seeking to operate more sustainably, this is a serious issue. Data volumes are growing rapidly, so unless you can manage them effectively, expect your energy consumption, costs, and carbon footprint to increase as well.

The question is, what can you do about it?

Navigate new sustainability mandates

Given the relationship between data storage on carbon emissions, CEOs and CIOs are connecting their data storage and sustainability strategies. CEOs in Europe, for example, report that meeting ESG requirements is now their #1 business risk^{https://services.global.ntt/en-us/campaigns/the-unseen-environmental-cost-of-data}—which places sustainability above even cybersecurity.

At the same time, new regulatory mandates such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive are forcing business and IT leaders to prepare for compliance now.

You can’t manage what you can’t see

 Access metrics and insights for storage and other IT resources, on premises and in the cloud.

Achieving predictable, sustainable energy spending in data centers starts with data intelligence that monitors your data’s carbon footprint, which data sits idle, and what’s no longer needed.

The problem is, only 30% of organizations have the resources to measure and report the implications of their data storage^{https://techcentral.co.za/data-centres-to-consume-8-of-worlds-electricity-by-2030/175079/}. Without data insights, you’ll be maintaining poor quality or unnecessary data, which Gartner says cost businesses an estimated EUR 11.5 million annually.
