"To ensure the adoption of sustainable measures in data centres, it is essential to involve both state and central governments in the decision-making process, rather than relying solely on data centre operators," said Piyush Somani, chairman and managing director, ESDS Software Solution, a cloud services and data centre firm. Other areas of concern include the cost of transporting energy since not all geographies are conducive to setting up data centres and have access to continuous supply of energy from renewable sources.
