Modern data centers of major companies are the main consumers of energy.
That is why Microsoft wants to switch to consumption of clean energy, so as not to harm the environment.
Currently, about 44 per cent of the resources of Microsoft come from clean energy sources, and by 2018 it wants to increase this figure to 50 percent, respectively, by 2020 to achieve a 60 per cent.
Microsoft independently developing alternative energy sources and clean pipelines. For example, in the framework of the project Research data centers have been placed in the ocean where they not only ate, but also cooled by water.
Alternative energy sources not only help to reduce the damage to nature, besides significantly save money on maintenance resources. The money saved by the company Microsoft uses to other useful projects.
