Digital solutions can significantly reduce energy consumption in data centers by utilizing innovative software management tools that provide visibility and control over the entire energy consumption value chain. For example, Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure™ Data Center Expert helped a data center in Thailand achieve a 38% reduction in power used for cooling, while also avoiding over 171 tons of CO2 emissions and saving $36,000 annually in energy costs.

Digital solutions play a crucial role in reducing energy costs for data center operators, which can account for over 40% of their operating expenses. For instance, Manchester Metropolitan University implemented a suite of smart solutions that cut cooling costs by 30%, resulting in annual savings of $4.77 million and a projected 25% reduction in its overall carbon footprint.

Digital solutions can enhance productivity in data centers by enabling better space utilization and increasing rack densities. For example, Genpact's partnership with Schneider Electric led to a 75% reduction in maintenance time and a 25% decrease in outages, while also allowing for a 50% reduction in floor space and significant savings on generator capacity and upstream costs.
