Accelerating digital transformation with sustainable solutions

Environmental sustainability

Dell Technologies and Equinix have developed joint solutions to support our customers in this critical area by enabling businesses to deploy their infrastructure on Dell architecture within Equinix’s low-carbon colocation infrastructure covered by 96% renewables globally1. From there, we can dynamically connect to industry-leading cloud and network providers around the world via software-defined interconnection, gaining maximum choice, flexibility, cost control, and performance advantages.

The opportunity to reduce physical infrastructure and optimize performance can lead to a reduction in the energy consumption and carbon intensity of workloads, enabling organizations to reduce emissions and contribute to their sustainability goals.
