Choosing the right Data Centre partner: Key Environmental considerations for businesses

Businesses rely heavily on data centres to store, manage, and process their digital assets. However, as the importance of data centres grows, so too does the need to choose providers who are environmentally responsible. Lunar Digital is at the forefront of this movement, and we believe it's crucial for businesses to consider the following environmental factors when selecting a data centre provider.

1. Climate Positivity

Today, environmental responsibility extends beyond just being "carbon neutral." Data centre providers should strive to be climate-positive, actively contributing to a better environment. Lunar Digital has made it our mission to go beyond neutralising our carbon footprint by creating an environmental benefit. Our tree plantations in Devon and planned solar initiatives are just a few examples of how we're pushing the envelope on climate positivity.

2. ESG Commitments

Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) isn't just a buzzword; it's a vital framework for evaluating the ethical and sustainability practices of a data centre provider. At Lunar Digital, we take our ESG commitments very seriously. It's our way of ensuring that we're not just responsible stewards of the environment but also active participants in supporting our local community and economy.

3. Energy Efficiency

Outdated data centres can be significant energy hogs, contributing to unnecessary environmental strain. Modern data centres should prioritise energy efficiency. They should stay at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies to not only keep operational costs down but also reduce their environmental impact. Lunar Digital is dedicated to exploring opportunities for system improvement and significant energy savings.

4. Sustainability Initiatives

Businesses should look for data centre providers that have a clear roadmap for sustainability initiatives. This could include using renewable energy sources, implementing green data centre designs, or actively participating in local or global environmental causes. For instance, Lunar Digital is committed to harnessing solar energy and has a strong sustainability strategy that focuses on environmental restoration.

5. Environmental Impact

Businesses must assess the environmental impact of data centres in terms of carbon emissions, water usage, and waste generation. This transparency is crucial to making an informed decision. At Lunar Digital, we aim to provide our clients with a clear understanding of our environmental impact and our efforts to mitigate it.

6. Future-Proofing

Choose a data centre provider that is forward-thinking, continuously striving for greater efficiency, scalability, and performance. Lunar Digital is dedicated to accelerating server energy efficiency and lowering the total cost of data centre ownership. We aim to be part of the solution to the world's most pressing challenges.

When businesses choose a data centre provider, it's not just about technology and data security; it's about making a sustainable choice for the environment and future generations. Lunar Digital believes in a data-driven world that coexists with a greener, more sustainable future.
