How is technology critical in addressing sustainability challenges and creating sustainable businesses?

Technology is the backbone of any tech-first business today. A strong IT infrastructure can help businesses minimize their carbon footprints by tracking and identifying carbon-related pain points along the entire supply chain. Additionally, products are designed using advanced servers thereby making the packaging environmentally friendly and reducing plastic waste & carbon emissions.

Where do we stand at innovations for sustainable technologies to meet the green demands of industries? Please talk about your innovations in sustainable technologies.

In Q3 FY 23,onthe 30th Anniversary celebration of the ThinkSystem server, Lenovo launched the fifth generation of Lenovo Neptune Direct Water-Cooling technology along with a range of sustainability services to help customers reach their sustainability goals. The technology helps industry-leading data centers with a broader range of servers that recycle loops of warm water to cool systems and enable customers to reduce power consumption by up to 40 percent. Along with fulfilling the ESG goals, savings on power consumption also helps businesses to save costs and extend the life of their infrastructure.

Additionally, Lenovo’s latest ThinkSystem SD650 V3 and SD650-I V3 servers extend Neptune cooling efficiency for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) providing HPC applications up to four times more memory bandwidth and delivering up to 2.8 times generational performance improvement.
