Description
Carbon abatement mechanism
Equinix provides shared centralised data centre hosting services that Vodafone customers are transferred to.
The carbon savings are due to efficiencies of operation within a dedicated managed data centre environment, compared to on premises computing facilities. This being primarily from increased utilisation of servers through virtualisation, and improved PUE. Carbon emissions are avoided through Vodafone’s more energy efficient colocation solution, reducing electricity consumption compared to the average regional energy efficiency of datacentres. The savings are due to Vodafone’s improved PUE. This results in a reduction in electricity use per square metre area of utilisation in the data centre, and associated reduction in emissions.
Vodafone offers a shared datacentre for customers to use that has a lower power usage effectiveness (‘PUE’) than on-site server use.
Call conferencing technology allows companies to conduct business remotely through call conferencing, from 2024 this includes International Voice data.
Call conferencing enables carbon savings through the reduction of emissions from travel for business purposes.
