The OCP community is doing a great job advancing operational energy efficiency. But without assessing pre-use (embodied) and post-EOL costs of massive infrastructure scaling, we’re only solving 1/3 of the environmental impact puzzle. Ali Fenn addresses what’s at stake and what it will take. And why the time is now to operationalize circular data centers to redefine lifetimes, maximize financial and sustainability value, and democratize access to growth.

The Open Compute Project was founded on the principles of collaboration, free exchange of ideas, and positive impact on the community. So, it’s no surprise that organizers of the 2020 OCP Global Summit wasted no time transforming March’s planned face-to-face conference into a full-fledged virtual event. The renamed, multi-day OCP Virtual Summit featured ITRenew's own Ali Fenn as the keynote speaker and lots of other breaking presentations from ITRenew.
Read more ›The Circular Data Center Economy Opportunity & Imperative
The global IT industry is responsible for 4% of global emissions and on track to double by 2025. With those high stakes, a focus on operational energy efficiency isn’t enough. If we factor the pre-use (embodied) and post-EOL costs of infrastructure scaling, we can solve the other 2/3rds of the environmental impact puzzle. Together we can reverse the trend: democratize access for enterprises globally, maximize the lifetime value of assets, and drive major advances in sustainability.

The best way to open billions in financial opportunity for hyperscalers and make premium technology available, and affordable, for the broader ecosystem. ITRenew’s Circular Data Center Model creates secondary loops of life for IT hardware that carry much higher proven lifetime value and lower total cost of ownership.
Read more ›Going Full Circle
When it comes to tackling data center E-waste, Alli Fenn, president of ITRenew, explores how a circular approach can maximize the economic life of hardware, reduce costs, and minimize the economic impact of the data center.
Read more ›The TCO of OCP
The world’s largest data center owners leverage open hardware to optimize TCO and refresh cycles, and minimize CO2e impact. Now ITRenew’s circular economic model makes the same financial and sustainability opportunity available to broader global markets. Ali Fenn shares the real-world data and is joined by Hydro66 to show the impact of the model in action. Build data centers on the Circular Data Center model to achieve zero waste, lead in energy efficiency, and make a positive impact on the environment - all while lowering your TCO.
