It also facilitates remote access, enabling employees to work from anywhere, on any device. 3️⃣ Simplified Management: Centralized management of virtual desktops allows IT teams to streamline software updates, security patches, and application deployments, ensuring a consistent and efficient user experience. 🔍 Calling all Equinix VDI Explorers! 🙌 Now, I turn to our vibrant community members. Have any of you had the opportunity to play with or deploy a VDI solution using Equinix products and services? We'd love to hear about your experiences, challenges, and successes.

Hi Community, I just finished reviewing the official announcement and wanted to share my highlights TLDR IT equipment within data centers, including routers, servers and storage arrays, emit high levels of heat that requires data centers to be fitted with robust cooling systems to remove that heat "Most datacenters operate within restrictive temperature and humidity bands, resulting in environments that are unnecessarily cooler than required," saidRob Brothers, Program Vice President, Datacenter Services, IDC "Optimizing data center temperatures results in more efficient operations, benefitting businesses and the planet..." -Sue Preston, vice president and general manager, Advisory and Professional Services, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). As a part of this new efficiency initiative, Equinix expects to operate its facilities closer to 27°C (80°F), aligning operating limits across its global data center portfolio with the globally accepted boundaries of the A1A standards from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). this new initiative will contribute to the overall sustainability of its data centers through efficiency improvements "Our cooling systems account for approximately 25% of our total energy usage globally..." "we anticipate energy efficiency improvements of as much as 10% in various locations." -Raouf Abdel, Executive Vice President, Global Operations for Equinix. Equinix was the first in the data center industry to commit to becoming climate neutral, aligned to approved science-based targets, for emissions reduction across its global operations and supply chain by 2030. Equinix's renewable energy coverage has been over 90% since 2018. In 2021, the company achieved 95% renewable energy coverage.
