While plenty has been written about data centers' energy use and resulting
pollution, data-management centers need to recognize and manage all of
their operational environmental risks. These risks can result in costly cleanup,
work safety issues and disruptions in operation if not identified and managed
properly. Property managers and REITs with tenants managing data centers
or significant Internet support and computer hardware should be aware of
environmental risks associated with these operations.
