MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data storage technology and services, in partnership with Wakefield Research, released a new report identifying the critical impact of IT on environmental sustainability and the challenges present in addressing the urgent and growing demands for IT to be accountable drivers of change.
The new report, "Drivers of Change: Pure Storage IT Sustainability Impact Survey 2022," examines the opportunities for IT professionals to collaborate with enterprise sustainability directors to navigate reductions in the environmental footprint of their organizations.
Survey Highlights:The "Drivers of Change" survey, fielded among 1,000 sustainability program directors, saw consistent results across global markets, including the U.S., U.K., France, and Germany. Report highlights include:
Data centers currently account for 1% of global electricity consumption today. The World Economic Forum estimates that digitization generated 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 alone, however, if brought to scale digital technologies could reduce emissions by 20% by 2050.
Data centers and digitization play an undeniably important part in any corporate sustainability strategy. While sustainability managers are working towards meeting critical environmental goals, they can't do so without more sustainable IT infrastructure marked by high efficiency, scalability, and simplicity.
As a result, there is a tremendous opportunity for IT professionals to help their organizations make strides in reducing their environmental footprint.
