Humankind is forecasted to create more data over the next three years than the data we created over the last 30 years. Our digital lives, powered by technologies such as 5G and IoT, also impact our energy footprint. Join Sarah and Thomas as they discuss how these technologies, 5G to edge computing, empower our digital lifestyles. They will then dive into the role of data centers in our digital lives and cover the differences between hyperscale and edge data centers, energy and electricity consumed by data centers, the role of Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions in reducing the environmental footprint, and how renewable energy certificates work as a decarbonization tactic.
