The demand for computing power and digital services is exploding . In the last decade , global internet traffic increased ten-fold and data center storage capacity increased by a factor of 25 . With transformative yet energy-hungry innovations such as 5G mobile networks , big data , and artificial intelligence still just taking off , data center demand is only going to continue to grow .

As data centers get bigger and require more energy to keep up with the demand of modern consumers and businesses , so too does the spotlight as customers , governments , and industry regulators increasingly push for increased sustainability and social responsibility . on climate change , driving efficiency reduces operating costs , maximizes the value of existing capacity , and helps compliance with regulations and initiatives .
