THE FINANCIAL & SUSTAINABILITY CASE FOR CIRCULARITY

Description: The amount of data around the world has grown significantly in recent years and is projected to reach 175ZB in 2025 compared to 33ZB in 2018.1 This growth is fueled by greater data collection and computation required for advanced analytics and machine learning (especially deep learning). One often overlooked consequence of this growth is the massive physical infrastructure that’s required in the form of data centers to enable flow, storage and availability for all users of these highly connected and datadependent services. This high concentration of compute power and data storage has led to an immense growth in the number of such hyperscale data center facilities.
