Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability

We’re thrilled to announce that Microsoft Azure Data Manager for Agriculture is now available in preview.

Microsoft is working with customers, governments, and other stakeholders throughout the region to bring clarity, continuity, and compliance in the face of possible energy-saving strategies at the local and national level.

As we continue to build out our sustainability guidance to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals using Azure, our goal is to meet you where you are and help you do more with less—whether you’re building cloud-native applications, operating in hybrid environments, or evaluating

Our objective moving forward is to continue providing transparency across the entire datacenter lifecycle about how we infuse principles of reliability, sustainability, and innovation at each step of the datacenter design, construction, and operations process.

One of the biggest topics of discussion at COP26, the global climate conference held in November 2021, was how a lack of reliable and consistent measurement hampers progress on the path to Net Zero.

To deliver the most sustainable, scalable, and reliable cloud for Azure customers, continued innovation in cloud hardware is a constant priority for Microsoft.

Since March 1, 2022, a new Azure region in North China will be unrestricted access by customers, which adds the fifth Azure region to the China market and doubles the capacity of Microsoft’s intelligent cloud portfolio in China.

This year, we are excited to showcase some of our projects and technology at OCP Global Summit and share our learnings on the path of building a more reliable, trusted, and sustainable cloud alongside industry partners and the open source hardware ecosystem.

As cloud services continue to scale, their impact on the environment cannot be overlooked.
