EMERGENT SUSTAINABLE DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE 4.0 – POWERING THE GLOBAL DIGITAL ECONOMY

DAY 01: Keynote Roundtable (Part 1): The Future of the Data Center: Autonomy & Sustainability. Charting the Course to What’s Next
The data center as it stands today is a hyper-evolving medium – with massive advances in critical technologies. As automation and sustainably grow in focus by technology industry stakeholders, significant questions remain: what is our industry doing to invest in and build that future? What does the journey look like?

DAY 02: Keynote Roundtable (Part 2): The Fast-Changing Scales and Dynamics of Sustainable Digital Infrastructure Development
From the micro half-rack and modular at the edge to megascale hyperscale cloud, every stripe, color and configuration of the data center critical environment is undergoing both growth and change, as a result of the steep data growth across all sectors. What are the trends and the drivers at play? While it is true that digital transformation will very likely help decarbonize the economy and society, the data center at every level needs work at decarbonization, both for operational electrical power (Scopes 1,2 of the GHG Protocols), and in design/build development the embodied carbon (Scope 3). Much of this sustainability effort will have to do with how we implement AI-enabled IoT performance analytics and predictives for operational availability, efficiency, and overall systems health, all within a context envelope of sustainability rather than an after-thought. Realtime reporting, single-pane-of-glass visibility, all stakeholder transparency. No foolin’!
