Building a Greener Future: Balata’s Commitment to Sustainable IT Infrastructure

The environmental impact of data centers has become a pressing concern.

As the backbone of our digital world, data centers consume vast amounts of energy and resources. Balata recognizes this challenge and is dedicated to providing sustainable IT solutions that meet the demands of modern enterprises while positively contributing to our planet.

About Our Sustainable Approach

Sustainability is embedded in everypart of our business, from how we source equipment to how we support ourpartners through end-of-life.

1. Extending Hardware Lifecycles

Through our ITAD services, Balata offers certified refurbished hardware, allowing businesses to extend the life of their existing equipment. This approach reduces electronic waste and minimizes the need for new manufacturing, conserving resources and reducing carbon emissions.

2. Eco-Friendly Decommissioning

Balata Data’s lifecycle services include secure data erasure and environmentally responsible recycling. By properly decommissioning outdated equipment, we ensure that valuable materials are recovered, and hazardous substances are disposed of safely, preventing environmental contamination.

3. Third-Party Maintenance

Balata’s Third-Party Maintenance helps businesses extend the lifespan of existing infrastructure by maintaining hardware well past OEM warranty periods. Instead of replacing equipment prematurely, companies can keep their systems running efficiently while cutting both costs and carbon impact.

4. Global Reforestation Initiatives

In partnership with Evertreen, Balata Data plants trees for every maintenance contract serviced. This initiative not only offsets carbon emissions but also supports biodiversity and local communities, contributing to global reforestation efforts.

Why Sustainability in Data Centers Matters

The IT industry is increasingly recognizing the need for sustainable practices. According to a 2020 report by IDG, 95% of CIOs stated their role now includes strategic tasks beyond traditional IT management, emphasizing the importance of sustainability in decision-making.

Data centers are significant consumers of energy, with some estimates predicting they could account for 8% of global electricity consumption by 2030. Therefore, adopting sustainable practices is crucial to mitigate environmental impact and ensure long-term operational efficiency.
