Sustainability

By 2025, Microsoft will have power purchase agreements for 100 percent of carbon-emitting electricity consumed by company datacenters, buildings, and campuses.

Carbon usage

Microsoft will be carbon negative by 2030 and, by 2050, will have removed more carbon from the environment than it has emitted since its founding.

First-of-their-kind Microsoft Circular Centers recycle and repurpose servers and other hardware on site and, by 2025, will extend server lifespans by up to 90 percent.

Community initiatives

Microsoft builds local partnerships that deliver economic, social, and environmental benefits to the communities that datacenters are located in.

Azure Modular Datacenter

Modular Datacenters (MDCs) enable organizations to deploy a complete datacenter solution where needed, including areas with limited or no connectivity.

Azure Orbital

Infrastructure

Azure Orbital, a satellite ground station service, enables customers to communicate, downlink, and process data from their satellites without having to build their own stations.

Perimeter fence

High-security perimeter fences surround Microsoft datacenters.

A little background . . . Several months ago, those of us on the Google Cloud Developer Advocacy Team had a rare opportunity to tour the Google data center in The Dalles, Oregon. Many of us had seen other non-Google data centers in our careers, but this experience was beyond anything we ever imagined. We were blown away by the scale, the incredible attention to security and privacy, and the amazing efforts to make the data center extremely efficient and green. Additionally, we were proud to meet some of the brilliant people that design, build and maintain these data centers.

If you are a Google Cloud Platform customer, then this is your data center as much as it is our data center, so we want you to experience what we experienced.

We hope you enjoy it!

Inside A Microsoft Data Center: Virtual Tour Showcases Cloud Innovation

Microsoft is offering the world a look inside its cloud data centers with a new virtual tour , an immersive experience that provides a walk-through of simulated data halls, network rooms, and operations equipment yards. The tour brings together audio, video, data cards and a simulated ata center environment to provide Internet visitors with a glimpse of the infrastructure that powers Microsoft’s cloud operations.

Microsoft joins the many data center service providers that have created virtual tours to provide remote access to facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, as many companies have sharply limited physical tours of their facilities. Tours have traditionally been a critical part of the data center provisioning process, giving customers the ability to see the space where their IT equipment will live and confirm the security and reliability of the facility.

For Microsoft, the goal of the virtual tour is to explain the physical infrastructure supporting its cloud services, which support many consumer services as well as IT hosting. The virtual data center experience is built in Unreal, and is a likeness of the current Microsoft data center design used in its Quincy, Washington campus.

“(The Cloud) is not nebulous magic, nor is it a single supercomputer,” a narrator explains in an introductory video. “The cloud is a globally interconnected network of millions of computers in datacenters around the world that work together to store and manage data, run applications and deliver content and services.”

For data center enthusiasts, the highlight will likely be the videos that bring viewers inside the server rooms:

The tour provides an opportunity to showcase its innovation in the data center, including video overviews of its projects to develop underwater data centers , DNA data storage , liquid immersion cooling and quantum computing. That includes a rendering of its Project Natick data module sitting on the ocean floor off the shore of Scotland.

At Data Center Frontier we’ve been tracking the progress of data center virtual tours for years, including early adopters like RagingWire in 2016 and Google’s periodic updates on its data center tours .

A smarter way to buy clean energy

Accelerating clean energy growth on the electrical grid is urgent if we want to help keep the planet under 1.5°C of warming. A big issue holding this growth back is the length of time it takes to complete a clean energy deal. That’s why Google partnered to develop a smarter and faster approach to closing these deals. Dive into how it works, and take a behind-the-scenes look at our process for developing what we believe will become a new standard. Learn more at goo.gle/cleanenergy.

Pipes in data center

Harnessing our data to drive efficiency

In our ongoing pursuit of extreme efficiency, we've developed software that optimizes our data centers by predicting and guiding our energy use. In 2014, we shared our model so that others could follow suit and enhance their data center efficiency in similar ways.

Data center exterior

Increasing access to renewable energy

As demand for renewable energy increases, we’ve been working with electricity providers on scalable solutions that increase the supply of clean energy. In 2013, we partnered with Duke Energy to pilot a new type of arrangement that lets companies buy renewable energy directly from the utility.

Certifying our high environmental standards

In 2011, we became the first major internet services company to gain external certification of our high environmental and workplace standards throughout our US and European data centers, reinforcing our commitment to take care of the environment and our employees.

Windmills

Adding renewable energy to our communities

We aim to use as much clean energy as possible, but we’re limited by a grid with few renewable options. In 2010, we started buying renewable energy from wind farms near our data centers. In doing so, we're adding new clean power for our data centers and greening the electricity where we operate.

Presenter in auditorium

Sharing what we've learned

In 2009, we brought together our peers to discuss how we can all make the industry greener and more efficient. This was followed by an event on efficiency targets across geographies and climates, and a summit exploring the environmental impact and benefits of the internet.

Quarterly Energy Use chart

Disclosing industry-leading efficiency

Most companies don’t talk about their real-world efficiency. In 2008, we started sharing our efficiency performance to help push the industry forward. Since then, we've continued to publish detailed, comprehensive data for all of our data centers.

Data center by water

Becoming the first carbon neutral internet company

Our data centers use much less energy than the average data center, and if you add our renewable energy use and carbon offsets, our footprint is zero. We’ve been carbon neutral since 2007, and we’re happy to see that other tech companies have followed in our footsteps.

Data center pipes

Designing efficient data centers

In 2003, we designed portable data centers: shipping containers pre-packed with servers and cooling equipment, which were easier to assemble and more energy efficient. By 2006, we moved to newer designs that provided the same benefits, but with greater flexibility.

Server rows

Pioneering highly efficient servers

We've been designing our own custom servers to minimize their energy use since 2001. By using highly efficient power supplies and putting batteries directly onto the machines, we've built some of the most efficient servers in the industry.
