Ludo Baauw, founder, corporate social responsibility lead, and CEO of Intermax Group, sees firsthand the direct impact that sustainability initiatives have on the environment and biodiversity. Intermax, which provides managed cloud services, infrastructure-as-a-service, a broad array of application services, and robust security offerings services. It aims to become carbon neutral in 2027 and carbon negative by 2030. "Our newest data center reflects our decision to fully commit to sustainability while ensuring a seamless transition without any disruption or inconvenience for our customers," says Baauw. "That move required months of meticulous planning but was made much easier with our VMware-driven clouds. It was a significant task for our technical team, and we are still evaluating the outcome, but we estimate that the new center is saving 30% on cooling power and delivering significant improvements in power usage effectiveness."
