Abstract
This technology landscape is intended for all stakeholders that aim at contributing
to building a future-proof energy efficient digital infrastructure,
from business organizations like data centers, software development
companies, telecommunication service providers, to business
customers, NGOs and end users; but also governmental organizations,
decision makers and funding agencies.
In this report, we provide insights into the research conducted
by the Software and Sustainability (S2) research group at Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam focusing on H2 and the role of software
technology for energy efficient digital infrastructures; and Photon-
Delta focusing on H3 and the role of hardware technology.
In this research, we have carried out a series of interviews with
various stakeholders of the data center industry, on the future directions
that will lead to more energy efficient digital infrastructures.
The collected results were then refined and validated via focus
groups involving additional participants. In total, 45 participants
took part to this study.
