SDEA President and Board members are proud to present the certification process for the long-awaited SDEA Label for datacenter energy efficiency and emissions, firstly introduced last January at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. After a short 10-15 min presentation to share the steps of the certification process, a Q&A will be opened for attendees to ask questions.

Webinars will be held in English, French and German.

Introduction

Datacenters (DCs) are a digital economy’s physical core infrastructure providing IT services centered around data and built with commodity components to benefit from the economies of scale. The ongoing global digital transformation and the slowdown in conventional growth in silicon- based digital platform capacity and capability will not only boost the number and size of datacenters but also their energy consumption and carbon footprint. This label creates transparency about energy efficiency and the end-to-end climate impact of datacenters. With metrics and ratings that award the best in class in datacenter technologies, this label contributes to a sustainable datacenter infrastructure in Switzerland.
