: Kyndryl upgrades data center for Panasonic Information Systems

IT services firm Kyndryl has upgraded a data center which handles the core systems for Panasonic Information Systems.  Kyndryl reduced the data center’s air conditioning unit quantity by 10 which enabled Panasonic to reduce the CO2 generated by its data center by around 180 tons per year.

“Panasonic Group considers reducing its own and society's CO2 emissions and addressing global warming as the most crucial challenge for the group. Utilizing Kyndryl's expertise in data centers to reduce CO2 emissions is a remarkable result, and it has allowed us to contribute toward a sustainable earth,” said Tomoyuki Sakai, senior managing director of Panasonic IS.

“Kyndryl has long been engaged in the design, construction, and operation of IT infrastructure leveraging data centers. The modernization of these facilities presents a pressing challenge, not just for businesses but for society at large. We are pleased to be able to support the Panasonic Group, which is taking the lead in tackling global warming,” said Keisuke Maeda, distinguished engineer, Kyndryl Japan.
