Nutanix, a prominent player in the realm of hybrid multicloud computing, has reaffirmed its dedication to supporting the sustainability goals outlined in Saudi Vision 2030. This visionary initiative seeks to combat environmental challenges through tangible actions and eco-friendly endeavors.
Talal Al-Saif, Regional Sales Director for Central Gulf and Egypt at Nutanix, commends Saudi Arabia’s Leadership and Government for their commitment to renewable plans and green initiatives. These efforts have propelled the Kingdom to achieve an impressive rise of 24 ranks on the World Economic Forum’s Energy Transition Index, establishing its leadership in the Middle East. The Regional Voluntary Carbon Market Co., a pioneering initiative in the region, exemplifies Saudi Arabia’s pivotal role in reducing carbon emissions and facilitating the global shift towards a net-zero future.
Nutanix acknowledges that data centers and digital infrastructures collectively contribute significantly to global energy consumption, resulting in a substantial carbon footprint. Experts concur that hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) stands as the most effective and expeditious means of curbing data center energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions. As a trailblazer and established leader in HCI technology, Nutanix is fully committed to aiding Saudi Arabia in its sustainability endeavors by modernizing infrastructure throughout the Kingdom to address environmental, energy, and economic imperatives.
In alignment with its mission to promote digital sustainability, Nutanix recently introduced a Carbon and Power Estimator—a valuable tool designed to help organizations comprehend the environmental impact of various factors. By estimating annual power consumption and emissions for different Nutanix solutions based on Nutanix Validated Designs, the Estimator furnishes users with an insightful report. This report illustrates how infrastructure choices can influence their environmental footprint concerning power and emissions, thereby offering guidance for the development of more sustainable IT strategies. Organizations can tailor their IT decisions based on workload specifics, data center efficiency, and location to align with their sustainability objectives.
Furthermore, Nutanix has sponsored a comprehensive report aimed at aiding business decision-makers in not only reducing energy costs but also significantly decreasing the carbon footprint of their data center assets. This report delves into the specifics of how different data center technologies compare when businesses evaluate the advantages and disadvantages in pursuit of climate neutrality goals.
Key findings from this report include:
In conclusion, Talal Al-Saif emphasizes the significance of innovative next-generation data center technologies, such as HCI, in addressing the energy consumption and climate challenges that persist in the industry. These technologies have a proven track record and the potential to bring about substantial efficiency gains, significantly impacting both energy costs and climate change.
