environmental impact of data centres, which consume vast amounts of power and water, makes it imperative for companies operating these facilities to prioritise sustainability efforts. Data centres are significant consumers of electricity. According to estimates, they use approximately 2% of the world’s power and emit CO2 that is equivalent to the airline industry’s emissions; the airline industry is a highly carbon-intensive business. Moreover, data centres’ energy use is known to double every four years, resulting in one of the fastest-growing carbon footprints. By adopting sustainable practices and technologies, data storage solution companies can play a significant role in mitigating such impact. To fulfil such goals, storage solutions company Western Digital is looking to tackle power consumption challenges, including cooling — a critical aspect to data centre design — operational cost and hardware reliability.

Goa and pigs have long been closely linked. The Portuguese probably didn’t introduce them, given pork eating traditions in western India, in places like Mangalore and Coorg. But they would have encouraged their rearing, from familiarity with salt pork which fuelled their long sea voyages.

'Dominic’s Goa', an entertaining memoir by Domnic Fernandes, has a chapter on women who would raise a few pigs at home, feeding them on kitchen wastes and going to the houses that didn’t keep pigs to collect their waste as well.
