Key Themes

  • Energy Smart New
    Energy Smart Infrastructure

    From future battery technology to microgrids and the latest cooling tech, this content theme provides data center operators with expert opinion and guidance on how to design and operate highly-efficient and highly-reliable mission critical environments that support the next generation of high density IT.

  • Modernization New
    Modernization & Lifecycle Management

    Retrofitting existing data centers to manage modern workloads and maximise capex might be less glamorous than greenfield data center design and build, but for many operators these are priority projects. This theme focuses on best practice for extending facility lifecycle and optimizing operational efficiency.

  • Building at Scale New
    Building at Scale & Speed

    It’s crucial for data center developers and operators to reduce time to construction especially within the colo and hyperscale sectors. This content theme explores new greenfield data center design, construction techniques, framework agreements and supply chain dynamics.

  • Site Selection New
    Site Selection & Readiness

    Access to capital, site selection, energy procurement, and connectivity are just some of the factors that developers and operators must consider when planning a new facility. This new content theme focuses on the work that must be done in advance of any new data center investment.
