As the demand for digital services continues to rise, so does the environmental footprint of the infrastructure that powers it. Data centers, while essential to modern business and connectivity, are also major consumers of electricity and resources. At Datagarda, we believe that operational excellence and environmental responsibility must go hand in hand.
That’s why we are embedding sustainability into every layer of our Data Center Operations & Management (DCOM)—from facility design to daily operations—helping our clients meet both performance goals and environmental targets.
The Urgency of Sustainable Data Center Practices
Indonesia’s digital transformation is driving rapid growth in data center capacity. While this fuels innovation and economic expansion, it also raises critical sustainability challenges:
- High energy consumption
- Cooling system inefficiencies
- E-waste and hardware lifecycle concerns
- Carbon emissions from backup power sources
Without action, these factors contribute significantly to environmental degradation. Datagarda sees this not just as a challenge—but as an opportunity to lead.
Datagarda’s Sustainability Framework for DCOM
We have implemented a multi-faceted approach to reduce the environmental impact of our data center operations. Our sustainability efforts are built on four strategic pillars:
1. Energy Efficiency by Design
We partner with facility owners and clients to optimize the physical layout and electrical architecture of data centers. Through intelligent load balancing, power usage monitoring, and right-sizing equipment, we aim to achieve industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) scores.
2. Sustainable Cooling Solutions
Cooling accounts for a significant portion of data center energy use. Datagarda integrates advanced HVAC controls, hot/cold aisle containment, and, where feasible, free cooling methods that harness natural airflow or ambient conditions. These solutions dramatically cut energy usage while maintaining thermal stability.
3. Green Operations & Lifecycle Management
Our operations teams are trained to follow eco-conscious practices—from scheduled maintenance that prolongs equipment life to responsible e-waste handling and vendor recycling programs. We work closely with certified partners to ensure proper disposal or repurposing of retired hardware.
4. Monitoring, Reporting & Continuous Improvement
Through our integrated dashboard and analytics tools, we track energy use, water consumption, and carbon footprint metrics in real time. This data allows our teams to make informed decisions and drive continuous improvement toward sustainability targets.
Collaboration is Key: Empowering Clients & Vendors
We believe sustainability is a shared responsibility. That’s why Datagarda engages clients and partners in transparent conversations around energy goals, green certifications, and best practices. Whether it’s aligning with LEED standards, ISO 14001, or government climate targets, we tailor our DCOM services to support each client’s sustainability journey.
Case Highlight: Reducing PUE for a Financial Sector Client
A prominent Indonesian financial institution recently partnered with Datagarda to enhance energy efficiency across its private data center facilities. By retrofitting airflow systems, adjusting rack density layouts, and fine-tuning thermal management protocols, we achieved:
- PUE reduction from 1.8 to 1.45
- 20% cut in annual energy costs
- Improved uptime due to smarter thermal control
The client now benefits from both operational savings and progress toward ESG goals.
The Datagarda Commitment
At Datagarda, sustainability isn’t a buzzword—it’s a principle built into how we design, operate, and maintain data centers. Through our DCOM services, we are helping Indonesia’s digital infrastructure grow greener, more resilient, and more responsible.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to innovation that not only supports digital transformation—but protects the planet we share.
