VMware Cloud Well-Architected Framework for Azure VMware Solution: Best Practices for Sustainability & Carbon Reduction
Sustainability Practices
Azure VMware Solution can help organizations quickly adopt environmental sustainability and carbon reduction best practices in their operations.
By migrating workloads to Azure VMware Solution, organizations can reduce the net environmental impact of data centers without making a dedicated investment for sustainability and carbon reduction. Azure VMware Solution takes on this responsibility by continuously working to make data centers more energy efficient. VMware implements sustainable practices to develop and support the VMware Software-Defined Data Center, such as using 100% renewable energy and supporting low-carbon sustainable development projects. Microsoft is also committed to sustainability in the cloud as they continue toward a path to powering operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025. Microsoft is continuously making data centers more energy-efficient with initiatives such as developing an efficient water-use strategy and accelerating sustainability research and innovation.
Not only are the data centers that are supporting Azure VMware Solution energy efficient, but they also provide flexibility in VMware Cloud infrastructure. Organizations can scale their Azure VMware Solution environment up and down as necessary to meet the fluctuating workload demands and availability requirements. By utilizing Azure VMware Solution infrastructure, organizations are supporting environmental sustainability and carbon reduction by eliminating the waste of resources in data centers.
In addition to eliminating actual physical resource waste, organizations can further reduce waste by monitoring deployed services and right-sizing workloads in their Azure VMware Solution SDDC. By using Azure VMware Solution, organizations no longer need to spend time taking care of the physical or logical infrastructure of their data centers. Instead, organizations can focus on improving their workloads and making them more energy efficient.
Azure VMware Solution enables organizations to accelerate not just their cloud migration and adoption, but also their contribution to environmental sustainability and carbon reduction in their operations.
