Europe is in the midst of a record-breaking year in terms of data center expansions and developments, both inside and outside of the FLAP-D markets. Whilst the pandemic is still having a strong influence on market activity, the industry now has a heightened sense of urgency to tackle the biggest challenge of the generation: rapid, but reversible climate change.
This series of DCD> Europe will tell the story of the European edge, map the expansion into tier 3 markets, track the latest technology trends and follow where the investment is flowing, all in the context of the sustainability imperative.
Panel: How Is the Climate Imperative Stimulating Innovation?
A future where data centers contribute to the global economy and set an example as green leaders is attainable, as long as commitment to advancing disruptive technologies continues. The mission is clear - remain compliant with tightening environmental standards without sacrificing performance, but with compute intensive applications' demands, can the technology adoption keep up? This panel will focus primarily on the disruptive thermal solutions and technologies that have become more mainstream.
