The enormous global appetite for online everything — connections, work, shopping, gaming, social media, and more — requires more data, more storage, and more data centers. How can the industry meet these growing data and energy needs sustainably and cost effectively?
A new study carried out by 451 Research/S&P Global Market Intelligence, The Intersection of Digital Transformation and the Energy Transition, examined the importance of factoring the energy transition into digital transformation planning. The research included 1,001 respondents (including 250 data center operators) who are involved in digital transformation efforts across four power-critical businesses — the center, utility, building, and industrial markets — in North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
