Zero carbon data centre pursuit: Kathy Gibson is at VMwareExplore in Barcelona, where Kit Colbert, CTO of VMware says private clouds already helped save 2,5-billion megawatt hours ~
Kathy Gibson is at VMware Explore in Barcelona – Data centres today use massive amounts of electricity – and this is set to increase by as much as 200% as new technologies come online.
The public cloud holds the prospect of additional power savings by allowing companies to run their applications and workloads more energy-efficiently. This will help enterprise customers and cloud providers in Sub-Saharan Africa transition to zero-carbon clouds and pursue sustainability and supply chain decarbonisation strategies.
Teraco has committed to powering its data centre co-location facilities with 50% renewable energy by 2027 and 100% by 2035. It will also maximise its combined rooftop solar footprint across its facilities to 6MW by 2023. VMware Cloud Verified Providers who host their cloud platforms at the Teraco data centre facilities have an opportunity to leverage Teraco’s sustainability commitment to attain Zero Carbon Committed status.
The initiative is supported by Teraco’s customers and the South African-based VMware Cloud Verified Partner community, many of which use Teraco’s data centre facilities. Five of these partners have recently achieved VMware Zero Carbon Committed status.
