Inside a Microsoft Datacenter
In a world that runs on data and cloud, a Microsoft datacenter is more than just a place to store data. Amid the changing nature of work, education and innovation, datacenters are a crucial component of infrastructure.
This infographic provides an at-a-glance of the Microsoft datacenter. View it to get a snapshot of how Microsoft datacenters deliver worldwide physical and digital security, reliability, sustainable design and pioneering innovation.
What measures does Microsoft take for security in its datacenters?
Microsoft employs over 3,500 cybersecurity experts who work around the clock to safeguard the Microsoft Cloud. The company invests more than $1 billion USD in both physical and digital security as well as research and development. In 2020, Microsoft blocked nearly 6 billion threats on endpoints through 2.5 billion daily cloud-based detections.
How does Microsoft ensure reliability in its cloud services?
Microsoft utilizes Azure Availability Zones (AZs) to protect customer applications and data from potential datacenter failures. These zones are equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking systems, ensuring that there is only 1 millisecond of latency across Microsoft's regional datacenters.
What sustainability initiatives does Microsoft implement in its datacenters?
Microsoft aims to replace 100% of the carbon-emitting electricity used in its datacenters with green energy through power purchase agreements. The company is also working towards being carbon negative and water positive by 2030, eliminating reliance on diesel fuel for backup power, and diverting 90% of waste from landfills through recycling and repurposing initiatives.
