Very simple answer.

Yes, make your IT more efficient.

But the implementation of that answer requires quite some work, actually.

So, yes, the newest generation of processors, the newest generation of technology is more efficient, so to speak.

However, if you have a race car and you're using it in traffic in London, for example, that race car isn't going anywhere and it's burning a lot of energy in order to stay where it is.

And that is exactly how IT is nowadays in a lot of places around the world.

And that is one of the conversations that we also have with our customers in the sustainable transformation team.

And we actually devised a way for our customers to track, to look at efficiency from a broader IT perspective.

And this is what we call the five IT efficiency levers.

And these levers are equipment efficiency, software efficiency, data efficiency, energy, and resource efficiency.

Right.

After I'm done with optimizing the equipment, making sure that the data is efficient and my software is efficient, I can look at the auxiliary resources that I'm utilizing in order to run my IT estate.

This is where HPE has a lot of different things that we can help our customers in order to increase the efficiency of how they use that energy.

Direct liquid cooling is one of them.

And not only that, but we're also having a lot of deployments that are around heat reuse.

And usually we look at it as a byproduct of running that data center.

But as we know, heat is actually a very valuable asset in a lot of countries, whether I can use it to reheat a district pool or I can use it even for a brewery, for example.

And this is why we're trying more and more to optimize across the five levers, because

Energy will always be a finite resource.

When we're talking about energy, it is all of our responsibilities, right?
