Much has been said of the environmental impact of data centres, and now NEXTDC is looking to do its part in curbing its own contribution.

Data centre providers are well positioned to leverage renewable energy technology, which allows the industry to meet and exceed Australia’s greenhouse gas emission reduction target.

“As an innovative company with sustainability at our core, we are thrilled to announce our achievement of carbon neutrality two years ahead of our 2020 goal."

EcoDataCenter will be launching its new facility in Sweden that not only has no carbon emissions, but also promotes the reduction of them.

“With Australia’s energy sector increasingly under pressure from volatile commodity prices, it is vital we transform the way our industry operates."

DigiPlex's CEO shared the opportunities that the Nordics hold at the Datacloud Nordic event - Amazon, Apple and Google are already taking advantage.
