A Virtual tour of a Microsoft datacenter
An interactive and virtual tour exploring the inner workings of a Microsoft datacenter
Renewable energy
Sustainability
By 2025, Microsoft will have power purchase agreements for 100 percent of carbon-emitting electricity consumed by company datacenters, buildings, and campuses.
Carbon usage
Sustainability
Microsoft will be carbon negative by 2030 and, by 2050, will have removed more carbon from the environment than it has emitted since its founding.
Recycling
Sustainability
First-of-their-kind Microsoft Circular Centers recycle and repurpose servers and other hardware on site and, by 2025, will extend server lifespans by up to 90 percent.
Community initiatives
Sustainability
Microsoft builds local partnerships that deliver economic, social, and environmental benefits to the communities that datacenters are located in.
Azure Modular Datacenter
Innovation
Modular Datacenters (MDCs) enable organizations to deploy a complete datacenter solution where needed, including areas with limited or no connectivity.
Azure Orbital
Infrastructure
Azure Orbital, a satellite ground station service, enables customers to communicate, downlink, and process data from their satellites without having to build their own stations.
Perimeter fence
Security
High-security perimeter fences surround Microsoft datacenters.
Checkpoint
Security
All vehicles and pedestrians enter through monitored checkpoints.
