The sustainability benefits of standards based environmental monitoring and integrated management

Oct 24, 2023

Synopsis: Sustainability / ESG reporting is becoming a regulatory necessity and increasingly a competitive advantage, with customers and regulators both demanding accurate, transparent, and auditable reporting. How can data centre operators deliver this and satisfy both demands without significant effort and resource overhead?

On 11^thOctober 2023, Mark Acton, Business Strategy & Technology Director, RiT Tech, led the DCA 10x10 to highlight the benefits of accurate and transparent reporting tools for data center operators.

Entitled "The sustainability benefits of standards-based environmental management and reporting through innovative monitoring and management tools", it was a timely session with customers and regulators both putting pressure on operators to ensure transparent and auditable reporting. Mark focused the session on the potentially labour-intensive issues that will come as a consequence of satisfying both regulatory and market reporting demands without significantly increasing resource overheads.

Throughout the presentation, Mark Acton provided valuable insights into the latest sustainability legislation and showcased how DCIM tools, like RiT Tech's XpedITe platform can support data center operators in their quest for a coherent and federated platform that brings together multiple data sets to provide a holistic view of the data center's performance and enable standards-based reporting.

In a world where CSRD and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting are no longer just buzzwords but fundamental aspects of responsible business practices, throughout the questioning, Mark emphasized the need for data center operators to stay ahead of the curve by adopting excellent DCIM tools that can enable accurate standards-based management.

The DCA 10x10 has fast become a platform where experts objectively share knowledge, and it is leaders like Mark Acton that can help the industry take on the transformation needed - especially when it comes to adhering to regulatory requirements and industry standards.

For many years now, RiT Tech has been at the forefront of developing innovative technology that empowers data centers to monitor and manage the performance of their operations. XpedITe is the only DCIM leading platform that can be customized and accommodate multiple integrations with other tools to enable accurate reporting.

As a business, we continue to spearhead our Universal and Intelligent Infrastructure Management (UIIM) methodology to achieve one federated data center infrastructure management tool - paving the way towards a solution that will enable a more sustainable future for the data center industry.

When asked for a quote to sum up the day, Mark highlights that "Now is the right time for data centre owners and operators to recognise that new DCIM tools and non-traditional vendors offer cost effective solutions to the resource overhead issues they are facing with regard to both regulatory and customer ESG reporting requirements and operational efficiency. There are new innovative solutions out there, please explore their potential."
