Sustainability has emerged as a critical priority for organizations looking to align their operations with climate change concerns and environmental consciousness. Microsoft Azure provides a foundation for partners to assist their clients in effectively reaching their sustainability and environmental goals. Starting with the data center and extending to AI-powered solutions, cloud technology can help reduce carbon emissions, use resources more efficiently, and lessen our environmental footprint.
Microsoft sees sustainability and humanity’s response to climate change as the most significant challenge of our lifetime. There is still time to pave the way for a cleaner, greener future. Microsoft products and solutions are conceived, built, operated, and retired with sustainability in mind. By embedding sustainable technologies into every aspect of innovation, Microsoft technologies minimize the environmental footprint of your customers.
Why Migrate Workloads To The Cloud?
Organizations can cut energy consumption and costs and reduce the physical footprints of their data centers by migrating workloads to the cloud. Transitioning workloads to Microsoft Azure can produce up to 98 percent more carbon efficiency and up to 93 percent more energy efficiency than on-premises options, depending on specific server usage, data center infrastructure efficiency, renewable energy purchases, and other factors.
This significant decrease lets businesses contribute to global sustainability objectives while enhancing their operations.
The Emissions savings estimator for Microsoft Cloud helps you understand the emissions-related usage of Microsoft Cloud services and determine how much your customers will save by migrating to Azure.
Tap into additional incentives like Azure Migrate and Modernize and Azure Innovate and apply best practices based on Azure Essentials.
Lowering Data Center Energy Consumption
Microsoft’s data centers feature advanced server cooling technologies and renewable energy sources.
In fact, Microsoft is on track to be carbon negative by 2030 – a move to offset more carbon emissions than it produces! This ambitious goal sets a benchmark for Azure partners, encouraging them and their clients to adopt similar practices in their own infrastructure setups.
For Microsoft Azure partners, the opportunity to lead in sustainability is both a responsibility and a competitive advantage. Learn more about how to help your customers reach sustainability outcomes with Azure.
