Summary
Smart and Sustainable Data Centers of the Future
Data Centers have been at the center of a growing debate in recent years stemming from the surge in demand for compute resources fueled largely by GenAI, machine learning, artificial neural networks, and the explosion of data that these technologies produce. As a result, sustainability has become a concern driven by the increased energy and water consumption required to meet the elevated demand. This session will explore these trends and present a vision for the data center of the future, where technology innovation converges with sustainable practices. Our panel of experts will discuss the emerging technology adoption and challenges facing data center owners and operators as they race to deliver more efficient, sustainable, and scalable data centers capable of handling the increasing demands of a modern, sustainability-conscious society.
