Without the cloud, neither digitalization nor the use of innovative technologies for greater sustainability would be possible. But as global data traffic grows, so does the demand for energy. Despite this, green data centers are anything but a pipe dream: by using electricity from renewable sources, operators drastically reduce their carbon footprint. Take Deutsche Telekom in Magdeburg and Biere, for example: the data centers there operate exclusively on renewable energy and consume 30 percent less power than comparable facilities.
