Join this presentation for an expert review of the steps that data centre operation, management and planning are taking to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. What are the most interesting and effective initiatives? And how close are data centres to becoming ‘prosumers’ rather than just consumers of energy?

In common with other data center hub cities around the world, Sydney needs to meet increasing demand for data center services with the space, skills and resources required to do so. On top of this, there are increasing pressures to match delivery with sustainability. How well are local data centers meeting the sustainability challenge as its focus broadens beyond energy efficiency?   

Over the last decade, the world has undergone a transformative digital evolution; at the core of this evolution are data centres that compile, process, store, and transmit massive volumes of data keeping up with the ever-increasing demand for information. By 2025, there will likely be more than 27 billion IoT connections across the globe. This increase in connected devices makes uptime in data centers even more critical which probably can be best met by “Digitalisation” of the ‘Power Infrastructure’ that supports the 24/7 operation.

As larger numbers of businesses and consumers across Australia transform via digitalisation, how is this changing the requirements of infrastructure? What does this mean for the design and build of data centers, whether on-prem, colocation or hyperscale?  And how can an increasingly unpredictable data center life be factored into the design and build stage?

As the APAC data centre market sees explosive growth, the race is on to deploy IT infrastructure quickly,
yet efficiently. Aside from the pressure to scale fast, operators are now expected – sometimes even mandated – to adopt sustainable practices to reduce their impact on the environment. How can hyperscalers pave the way for sustainable practices in the region? Learn from our expert on sustainable data centre design and how to scale infrastructure more responsibly.

Market research has repeatedly revealed that human error is the leading cause of disruptive downtime. Despite widespread adoption of ISO standards, it has become evident that they are not sufficient to prevent these costly disruptions. As our world economies become more reliant on data centers, it is crucial that we address this challenge head on.

There is a vital need for a robust, practical and comprehensive quality management framework tailored to the unique demands of data center operations.

What is this framework and how does it work?

This expert keynote will highlight Australia’s opportunity to provide for AI workloads, even if initially only at the enterprise level.  It will showcase a number of key markets with inherent natural advantages when it comes to hosting AI workloads given the considerable potential environmental impacts of doing so.  A summary of the initiatives required at the Data Centre level to help mitigate the vast environmental challenges of AI / HPE workloads will also be outlined.

Data Centres are highlighted as a key reason for climate change and for impacting negatively on the environment.  There is the opportunity to change this narrative.  By utilising the ever-increasing waste energy from our data centres, we could lead the way in generating a circular economy of liquid energy and create our ‘liquid cities’ of the future.   This panel will look at the emerging technologies and the thinking which can help deliver this, and  what we should be considering in our data centre design now, to help make this possible.
