Uniquely composed of more than 1,600 government and civil society member organizations and 19,000 volunteer experts, IUCN influences, encourages, and assists societies worldwide to conserve nature and ensure natural resources are used equitably and sustainably.“IUCN has built a resilient, sustainable data foundation that gives researchers, scientists, and policymakers reliable access to the information they need to help protect biodiversity,” said César Cernuda, President at NetApp. “This far-reaching impact reflects the purpose of NetApp’s Social Impact Intelligent Data for Good Award. By making critical insights available when and where they are needed, IUCN is strengthening its ability to safeguard nature around the world.”The award recognizes IUCN’s remarkable achievement in building an Intelligent Data Infrastructure that enables the organization to quickly and confidently access, manage, and activate its data to fulfill its critical mission of conserving the world’s biodiversity. With more than 175,900 species assessed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ and operations spanning over 160 countries, the scale and reliability of IUCN’s data infrastructure enables the organization to support the health of our planet’s biodiversity.Since a system outage or data loss could disrupt vital research or delay urgent policy recommendations, IUCN needed infrastructure that could deliver constant availability, security, and integrity of the data that fuels conservation work. The NetApp Platform empowers field researchers, scientists, and global policymakers with fast, reliable, and uninterrupted access to vital conservation data, regardless of geography or operational complexity. As an added benefit, the implementation has led to a notable reduction in power consumption, ensuring that the IUCN’s IT operations are sustainable and cost effective as it enacts its mission.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“Receiving this award reflects the dedication of our teams and the importance of the mission we serve,” said Francois Jolles, Chief Information Officer at the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “Data is at the heart of everything we do, from assessing threatened species to shaping international environmental policy. Trusted, resilient infrastructure gives our experts reliable access to critical conservation data, enabling us to turn knowledge into meaningful results for nature and people around the world.”About the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)IUCN is a membership Union composed of both government and civil society organisations.
