Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Sustainability is an incredibly important topic to the data center industry and our Data Center Knowledge readers, which is why it is a primary focus topic on our site. Data centers consume a massive amount of energy – a staggering 1 – 2% of global power consumption. Running a single supercomputer, for example, can require as much power as entire neighborhoods. With the explosive growth of AI, machine learning, IoT and other forms of modern computing, the need for greater energy efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint in the data center industry has become more important than ever. Everything from data center size, location, energy sourcing, cooling technology and workload configuration impacts energy efficiency. Our site is committed to delivering the newest, most pertinent information on data center sustainability while adding vital context and next steps. This past year, Data Center Knowledge has published 112 stories related to sustainability and efficient power usage – making it a top three topic in terms of magnitude.
