"A recent detailed survey titled IT and Data Centre Sustainability in Australia
has revealed startling insights that underscore the urgent need for action in
the Australian data centre industry.
Conducted by Pure Storage and the Institute of Sustainable Futures at the
University of Technology Sydney between May and June 2023, the survey examined
thoughts and behaviours of sustainability professionals across various sectors,
providing a comprehensive view of the current state of sustainability in data
centres.
Key findings from the survey include:
* Only 5% of sustainability professionals felt they received detailed
sustainability-related data from data centre service operators, with 46%
receiving no data at all.
* 77% agreed that organisations cannot reach their sustainability goals without
significantly reducing data centre energy usage.
* Despite 48% of respondents being aware of the amount of energy data centres
consume, 29% of organisations did not consider data centre energy consumption
at all.
* 81% of respondents anticipate an increase in demand for data management, yet
only 15% indicated sustainability issues were a critical consideration in
procurement for data centre service providers."
