In a world where sustainability is ever more prevalent, the continued use of diesel in data centres just won’t do. Customer demands, regulation and the outcry against GHG emissions may well make a switch from diesel standby to gas generation a timely move for those facilities still running on ‘dirty’ fuel, says Ed Ansett, founder and chairman at i₃ Solutions Group.

Sustainability is both a journey and a destination. For data centres to become truly sustainable there are many things that must change and some things that must end, says Ed Ansett, Founder and Chairman, isub>3 Solutions Group.

The new series of white papers aims to provide vendor-neutral decision-making support together with insights into the factors associated with the many technology options currently available to the sector for lowering the carbon footprint of data centre operations.

Who accounts for the economic and carbon cost of SaaS data centre power? And can it be brought under control? i₃ Solutions Chairman and Founder Ed Ansett talks to Datacenter Solutions for their latest digital magazine (we’re on page 22!)

A white paper issued jointly by the i₃ Solutions Group and EYP Mission Critical Facilities (EYPMCF) collaboration on greenhouse gas abatement explains the role that low carbon energy sources will play in the data centre powered grid.

i₃ and EYP Mission Critical Facilities have just published their first data centre sustainability white paper. DCS talks about the publication’s focus and findings with Ed Ansett, Founder and Chairman of i₃ Solutions Group, and finds out about the i₃/EYP GHG Abatement Group’s future plans.
