FINAL WORD

With the digital economy booming , data centers will play an important role in powering the digital enterprises of the future . And as all industries are actively engaged in implementing carbon neutrality goals , building greener and more energy efficient data centers is a major target for the data center industry . Sanjay Kumar Sainani , Global SVP and CTO for Data Center Business Unit of Huawei , highlights the importance Huawei places on continued innovation to help enterprises achieve carbon neutrality by building more energy efficient , low carbon data centers .

Clearly , the world is entering a new age , one where the digital economy plays the starring role . And with that , energy – the literal engine of the digital world – is now one of the key competitive factors for the digital economy ’ s success .

Which is also to say : accelerated transformation of energy infrastructure , as the world digitalizes , is inevitable , driving big changes for energy enterprises and the sector as a whole . Of course , energy conservation and emissions reductions – under the threat of irreversible climate change – are pressing global concerns .

With all industries actively engaged in implementing carbon neutrality goals , building greener and far more energy efficient data centers is a major target for the data center industry . Fortunately , this is an area that Huawei has already explored and made significant breakthroughs in .

Data centers are evolving , shifting focus to the additional value they add beyond simple storage . Accordingly , traditional construction models are changing , moving toward modularisation and prefabrication . And the arrival of Huawei FusionDC on the
