Regulations aimed at reducing the energy consumption of IT and promoting energy efficiency are here and Europe is leading the charge with the E.U.’s Energy Efficiency Directive and Fit for 55 with its goal of reducing E.U. emissions by 55% by 2030. In the US, under a pair of California laws signed in October 2023, many large US companies will be required to make broad-based climate-related disclosures starting as early as 2026. Organizations with a global footprint must comply, and we believe regulations will be extended into the greater United States with a recently passed SEC rule that may lead to a focus on IT energy consumption.

As the essential connection point between your IT infrastructure and the OT infrastructure supporting it, connected software is in a unique position to help answer sustainability questions. Schneider Electric has unveiled new model based, automated sustainability reporting features in EcoStruxure IT that are unlike anything available in the market. The new model offers customers a fast, intuitive, and simple-to-use reporting engine to help meet regulatory requirements. And it can scale from largest data center to the smallest server room, providing unprecedented visibility. 

In this webinar, we'll hear from Jon Gould, Director Business Development Software at Schneider Electric, and Satish Nookala, Director of Asset Product Management at CyrusOne, to learn more about how strategy and digitization with connected software and digital services are helping data centers meet their decarbonization goals.

We'll cover:
•    the new climate-related regulations and how they will affect data center operators in regards to energy efficiency & decarbonization efforts
•    the DCIM 3.0 evolution and how the wider data center software portfolio can support sustainability initiatives, and 
•    how CyrusOne is meeting their own sustainability goals, as well as meeting their customers' requirements, with digital solutions
