To begin with let us try to understand what a ‘green’ data center is all about. A data center where the entire infrastructure – construction, lighting, mechanical, electrical and IT systems – is designed to ensure maximum energy efficiency and a minimum impact on the environment is termed as a Green Data Center. This means that from using low-emission building materials, to recycling waste and to using alternate energy sources as far as possible, a green data center must look at reducing its carbon footprint from a 360° perspective.
