carbon-friendly infrastructure

“Carbon-Friendly Infrastructure” is Dimension Data’s concept of developing and deploying environmentally-sustainable IT infrastructure.

The solutions and services that we have developed to address environmental sustainability are based on our approach that green ICT strategies should be treated as an extension to existing ICT best practice to decrease waste, reduce cost, remove complexity, increase productivity and manage risk. For example, the techniques for reducing a company’s emissions lead directly to reductions in the electricity they consume, and hence produce overall longer-term savings for the business. It is possible to be both an environmental hero, and an economic one.

Green ICT strategies should be treated as an extension to existing ICT best practice.

Dimension Data’s Office Sustainability Services is a set of four complementary service modules designed to help office-based organisations build and execute their responses to climate change. The four key modules making up the Services are: Accounting and Reporting; Stakeholder Engagement; Opportunity Analysis; and Emissions Reduction.

Dimension Data has grouped its sustainable solution offerings into four key areas. Each of these solution offerings are aligned to existing IT solutions, addressing existing ICT best practice, in addition to delivering a green benefit to our clients:
