How NTT Data and WAGO Save Energy in Data Centers

Greater Energy Efficiency

Data center energy consumption, including cooling, lighting and other infrastructure components, is significant. Current building and energy guidelines mandate not only a reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2027 but also greater energy efficiency.

Maximize Potential Savings

With over 1,600 MW of IT load in more than 20 countries, the NTT DATA network is a major player in the industry - and is working intensively on ways to save energy and costs. AI plays a central role in optimizing these locations. By combining artificial intelligence with WAGO's automation components, NTT can monitor, regulate and control the energy infrastructure to achieve substantial savings.
