Sustainability and achieving net-zero networks are critical targets for the telecommunications (telecom) industry. The global economy, geopolitical situations, rising power bills, and pervasive computing at scale are creating urgent power-efficiency requirements and demonstrating the importance of accelerating network transformation. According to the latest industry insights, the telecom energy bills of major customers in the European Union doubled in the past year. The main reason for this increase is the growth of large investments in 5G, edge, and RAN deployments. These deployments are critically important in delivering digital services to customers.
The telecom industry’s current deployment models and products are not sufficient for the demands of future networks. The industry is facing a resource challenge due to computing, network, and storage demands growing exponentially. Meanwhile, energy availability is not improving at the same rate, impacting both business and sustainability ambitions. These challenges demand innovation at all levels to meet future customer requirements. These challenges explain why many countries are putting new energy-efficiency requirements in place along with government legislation to curb the growth in power consumption. Energy efficiency is a key part of network modernization.
Sustainability is one of the key pillars in everything Dell Technologies provides to our customers. Innovating and continuously improving power efficiency in Dell hardware have always been a key differentiation for Dell Technologies. The aim of this white paper is to give an overview on how Dell telecom solutions address this requirement.
