Transform your data centre for a sustainable future

An Eaton virtual conference

Overview Synopsis for this event:

Recorded on Wednesday 24th March 2021

Traditionally, electrical efficiency dominated the minds of data centre design engineers. For economic, environmental and customer reasons this has moved to overall “Sustainability”. On one side of the coin data centres are significant energy consumers, on the other side they are directly and indirectly driving the sustainability agenda. In this event you can hear from data centre & industry experts on how the various companies and technologies are creating and adapting to a sustainable energy future.

Countries are seeking to cut emissions with programs for widespread electrification of demand-side sectors like transport. But what are the implications for the energy system? And how could data centres play a part in mitigating some of these challenges?
