Reduce, Reuse, Recycle… Your Data Strategy

If you’ve got data and care about the planet, this episode is basically required listening. Sustainability isn’t just for reusable straws anymore—it's coming for your data, too. This week, join us as we sit down with Tania Le Voi, AI business development guru from NetApp, to talk about the not-so-glamorous, but oh-so-important intersection of sustainability and your data strategy. 

 

We break down the challenges organizations face when handling the environmental fallout of the data explosion, brought on by the AI boom—from AI's power and energy drain to supply chain woes, and yes, even the dreaded regulatory headaches. Tania serves up practical and refreshingly blunt advice on how companies can reduce their data footprint, tidy up bloated storage, and say goodbye to those sneaky duplicate files clogging up their systems. 

 

Trust us, your spreadsheets and carbon footprint will thank you. 

 

 

 

Key Takeaways: 

1. Organizations are facing serious sustainability challenges as their data grows. From AI’s energy hunger to supply chain impacts, it’s time to rethink how data practices affect the planet. 
2. Practical solutions like reducing your data footprint, classifying your data, and deleting duplicates can make a big difference—for both your storage costs and the environment. 
3. By aligning your data strategy with sustainability goals, you’re not just meeting regulatory requirements—you’re creating a smarter and more responsible business. It’s a win-win.
