Middle East Cloud & Datacenter Market Insights 2021

Event Summary

The Middle East region is strongly preparing itself for the post oil era and most importantly it’s going full throttle to unlock its full potential of becoming a technology ready region and here are some points to prove that: –

1) Countries in the Middle East are looking to improve their digital economies through smart city projects, which is fueling the demand for edge computing and data center deployment. The IoT revenue in the Middle East is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 15% by 2025. Also, the adoption of 5G networks has commenced in the region. The Middle East Data center market is expected to cross 3% in revenue by 2025. 

 

2) Demand for Data Centres has been underpinned by technological advances and an increasing adoption of cloud-based services. As AI, ML & 5G trends play out, the levels of data produced, stored and analysed will grow exponentially, which will drive significant demand for Data Centres.

 

3) The Middle East Cloud application market is expected to grow by USD 4.5 Billion by 2024 at a CAGR of 17.5%. Localisation of Data Centres will be required going forward for the Middle East thus it will become a key market for cloud based on-demand computing service providers.

 

The above points prove that yes, the middle east region is adopting fact to tech and adoption is high but there are still challenges as well as opportunities on the road to become a technology leader like: –

1) Many organizations in the Middle East believe that their digitization process is taking much longer and many feel that their organizations would benefit from hybrid cloud adoption to overcome operational  & talent challenges.

2) The Middle Eastern region in general has ambient conditions which can take a major toll on the efficiency of data centres. Two of the main factors include temperature and dust which has a negative effect of efficiency. Building of Operationally efficient and localized hyperscale & sustainable data centers is an urgent need for the Middle East region.

3) There is a huge skills gap for IT personnel in the region. More often these roles are outsourced and at times may not be available locally. The region has to make some concerted efforts in ensuring that these technical skills are nurtured and in turn work towards a stronger industry.

4) Security practitioners in the Middle East are concerned with data privacy and security, ITO practitioners are interested in operational efficiency, and CEOs and CFOs promote cost savings. So how can these key stakeholders meet half-way – that’s the question of the hour.

As a tech enthusiast In order to make sure you are well versed with these updates W.media has created the largest platform for Middle East tech enthusiasts to join together and get insights from the top experts of the world.

Event Summary

The Asia-Pacific region is leading the global datacenter industry with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of 12% and is expected to reach US$28 billion in 2021, becoming the world’s largest datacenter market. At the top of this wave is the two largest economies of China and Southeast Asia.

In China, the industry is developing rapidly, owning the second-largest number of datacenters in the world, after the United States, with an annual growth rate of more than 20% both in terms of quantity and scale. At an industry level, 5G, IoT, the industrial Internet and digital transformation abounds with waves of good news, propelled by the “new infrastructure” policy. From 2021 to 2022, China’s datacenter industry will usher in an outbreak period of landing and production.

In the Southeast Asia (“SEA”), market growth is expected to hit CAGR of 13% from 2019 to 2024. Amongst SEA, Singapore ranks third in the global datacentre market of 38 countries and is the only mature market. Vietnam, on the other hand, recently announced its 2025 National Digital Transformation Plan and 2030 Development Direction, whereas Malaysia has developed a “dual-core” datacenter deployment plan. Meanwhile, the Thailand government is strengthening domestic communication and network infrastructure to support the construction of hyper-large datacenters.

Such rapid growth and expansion of the Asian datacenter industry has increased competition amongst new entrants. However, whilst many will be enticed by the huge market potential and opportunities, whether it is the Chinese companies expanding to SEA or others looking to enter the Chinese market, they are set to face steep challenges in the various countries. To name a few; geographic landscape, imperfect infrastructure, policy constraints, business culture differences, and geopolitical instability all pose significant risks. 

Hence, W.Media is convening datacenter experts to offer an insider peek into the world’s two fastest-growing markets. Join us as we hear from industry leaders on the current situation, opportunities and challenges of the China and SEA market, and what you can expect in 2021 and beyond.

DIGITAL

DIGITAL WEEK SEA: SINGAPORE

EVENT BRIEF

The rise of Singapore in the Cloud Computing, and Datacenter sphere is remarkable, and startlingly impressive for a nation with limited space. Its position as a mature datacenter hub both lends it industry credibility, but at the same time motivates regional counterparts to emerge as market contenders. To that end, Indonesia, and Malaysia have emerged as the most formidable Cloud Computing and Datacenter competitors. Having led the industry in APAC for over a decade, the market is pivoting towards efficiency and sustainability. Its reliable power grid, coupled with skilled personnel have proved to be overwhelmingly attractive against space scarcity concerns.

As new entrants establish their presence in Singapore, they have innovated to adapt to the unique features of the market landscape. The tight regulatory structure in Singapore is fueled in part by the design inefficiencies inherent to the architecture. But these restrictions have bread ingenuity, and Singapore’s seen a massive leap in sustainable design among key industry players. Singapore’s immense amount of digital infrastructure and economic position in the region has also created an ecosystem for Fintech companies to flourish, along with other industries working to pioneer cloud technologies.

This session will highlight the remarkable innovation taking place in the Lion City, along with all the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in 2021 and beyond.

The Digital Week Singapore Session will take place 25 February 2021 from 9AM – 12PM.  Request Sponsorship or Speaker details below to get involved!

Inside Asia – Data Center Technology & Market Next Move

Event Summary

In a world where change is the only constant. One of the fundamental change drivers is the realisation of how important digital transformation is to work and life. At its core, digital transformation isn’t about the big multinational companies. It’s about using the latest technology to do what you already do – but more efficiently, remotely and securely. 5G, Cloud, Datacenters and Cybersecurity are the essentials of a Digital Economy and any organisation considering digital transformation.

Inside Asia – Technology & Market Next Moves will discuss the current and future outlook of 5G, Cloud, Datacenters and Cybersecurity in Asia. How can businesses still be in control when they embrace the cloud? Why many are aware about cyber-security threats, but not adopting defensive practices? Will edge computing be fast tracked? How will data centers and telco operators adapt to a volatile and heightened network load? Will data center investments and 5G roll-outs resume as aggressively pre-crisis.

Are cloud services and data centers prepared?

With this increased traffic comes additional expectations and pressure on cloud services and data centers.

In recent days, some cloud services have gone down following an increase in usage caused by more companies enforcing work from home policies. Microsoft Teams, the collaboration platform experienced an outage lasting over two hours. While the video conferencing service Zoom also suffered delays in their service due to higher demand this week.

The need for these services is apparent when operators in data centers have been named as essential staff in the Philippines, UK and California, which begs the question whether infrastructures across Asia are prepared for the potential of more lockdowns and greater remote working.

Is your business safe from cyberattacks?

The threat of global cyberattacks is also rising, as online criminals take advantage of the fear and unrest caused by the coronavirus outbreak. This week, news spread that the World Health Organisation was the target of elite hackers DarkHotel whose operations were traced to East Asia.

This cyberattack comes after a warning from the WHO of criminals disguising themselves as officials to steal money or sensitive information.

Join the conversation with the Technology Market Power Talk webcast

In these unprecedented times, this is an opportunity to pull together and find solutions to the challenges we are facing. Connect with your peers online for one hour of in-depth, social distancing-friendly conversation tackling the pressing issues affecting the technology market and our post-coronavirus future.

Japan Datacenters: Market Insights 2021

Event Summary

With a sustained CAGR of 3.7% between now and 2025, Japan’s Data Center Market is poised to reshape the nation’s entire economy. Increased speculation from foreign companies and accelerated adoption of digital technologies across public and private sectors are the underlying driving factors to this rapid evolution.

This data gold rush is taking place mainly around the Tokyo metropolitan area, with Osaka close behind. Local systems integrators like Fujitsu, Hitachi and Mitsubishi have been integral in making ICT the largest industry in the Japanese economy, and now global players like Equinix are moving into Japan’s data center sphere to meet the correlating surge in demand for cloud services. 

The Japanese government signed a deal with AWS to migrate all HR systems to the cloud by 2025, a sign of the cross-industry embrace of cloud technologies currently transforming the country.  But while the data center market is experiencing this unprecedented investment, there is simultaneously a growing call for such investment to be sustainable. Japanese Data Centers are pioneering renewable energy and energy-efficient power and cooling solutions 

The growth of IoT and remote work is driving the cloud services market to an incredible 15% CAGR, but in order to properly capitalise on this explosion of data it’s important to scrutanise where the data is being held: the data centers themselves.

Our second show in our “Japan Market Insights Series”, this event will focus on the Japanese data center market: its business prospects, technological breakthroughs, and future trends to be aware of.

日本のデータセンター市場は、現在から2025年の間に持続的に3.7%のCAGRを達成し、日本の経済全体を再形成する構えです。こうした急速な進化の背景には、増加している外資系企業の数及びデジタル技術の官民に普及の加速があります。

このデータゴールドラッシュは、主に首都圏周辺及び大阪中心の関西の地域で行われており、富士通、日立、三菱電気などの国内システム統合会社は、日本国内の経済を最大の成長する役割をしてあり、エクイニクスのようなグローバル企業も日本のデータセンター市場に進出してクラウドサービスの需要の相互増加に対応しています。

日本政府はAWSと共に2025年までにすべてのHRシステムをクラウドに移転する契約を締結しましたが、これは現在日本を変化させているクラウド技術の産業間の包容のシグナルと判断するのができます。 しかし、データセンター市場が前例がない投資を経験している中、投資が持続可能であるべきだというニーズが同時に増えています。 日本データセンターは再生可能エネルギー及び冷却ソリューションを積極的にリードしています。

Japan Cloud & Datacenter Convention 2021

Event Summary

Japan was an early adopter of digital infrastructure and has been a leading voice in discussions championing digital transformation in circles as high up as the UN G20. But what does the state of their digital economy look like on the ground?

By many accounts, Japan performs well above its APAC neighbors–it has the second highest region share in fibre connections and currently half of all businesses use cloud computing. But,

as was the case with many countries, the pandemic revealed weaknesses in their connectivity that they’re being quick to address.

Japan’s digitalisation is decidedly uneven. Transmission speeds are high but so are costs. Sectors like eCommerce have been able to thrive due to the quick adoption of cloud technology, and yet only 7.5% of government administrative procedures can be done entirely online.

In the last few months, Japan announced a “Digital New Deal” to upgrade the capabilities of their governmental agencies and public services. This initiative would increase investment in the pillars of fintech, AI, infrastructure, logistics, and healthcare, providing an economic stimulus domestically while setting out a blueprint for digital transformation that countries around the world could follow.

On the data center front, however, the country continues to attract investment from big names in colocation, such as Equinix, MC Digital Realty, NEC, NTT, and AT TOKYO, thanks in part to the Internet Initiative Japan instated last year. Japan is expected to see 11% year on year revenue growth in their data center market. Submarine connectivity between Japan-Guam-Australia, and the addition of another cable running throughout South-East Asia, demonstrate Japan’s commitment to and sophistication of its connectivity initiatives.

What work is there still to be done to realise Japan’s full digital potential? Join us at W.Media’s Cloud & Data Center Convention to find out!

Taiwan Cloud & Datacenter Convention 2021

Event Summary

The explosive momentum that the Taiwanese cloud market saw up in 2021 is expected to continue well into 2022, spurred on by the digitalisation demands of COVID-19. 

Taipei has emerged as the epicenter of this rapid digital expansion–implementing plans to construct  a 5G network and additional data centers within city limits. But the nation is also looking elsewhere, pursuing both domestic and international investments to maintain their competitiveness in the region. Google, for instance, recently selected the central city of Douliu as the site to begin construction of their third data center in Taiwan.

But while some of Asia’s emerging economies like Indonesia and Thailand are making great strides in the cloud market, corporations still prefer mature economies that can provide them with a strong power network and more reliable uptime. Because multiple deep-sea cables between the USA and Asia pass through Taiwan, the island also provides a geographic advantage to the American tech giants. Recent multinational agreements with western nations have cemented Taiwan as an essential partner in the rollout of 5G networks in the APAC region. 

On the state level, Taiwan is investing in bolstering five IT sectors: technology and digital, national defense, green energy, renewable energy, and biotech. Specifically, this involves such initiatives as recruiting 80 cyber security officials to establish a national team or creating another “Asian Silicon Valley” comparable to Hsinchu Science Park. 

How will these state-level actions impact the private sector? Digitalisation in Taiwan has the potential to impact all aspects of life, from healthcare to city planning. This event will focus on the most compelling trends in the cloud computing and data center industries in Taiwan. Tune in to find out more!

Indonesia Cloud & Datacenter Convention 2021

Event Summary

Indonesia’s position as the largest economy in Southeast Asia has fueled its rise in the Cloud Computing, and Data Center industry. Coupled with relatively low startup and operational costs, the country is rivaling traditional Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, and Data Center hubs. Data Centers in Jakarta alone are set to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8% in the years 2019-2024 , the highest for any city in Southeast Asia (Cushman & Wakefield Datacenter Report 2019). 

The central government’s decision to enact and relax Data Sovereignty Laws, has served as a framework for the industry at large. Strict data localization laws, once created a regulatory structure that drove demand. However, the subsequent move to ease legal restrictions, and the continued robust demand, has reassured the major players in the industry. Fears of a market crash were quickly allayed. This flexibility and willingness to evolve makes Indonesia distinct from many of its closest competitors.

What will Indonesia’s digital future hold? Join W.Media along with industry experts and changemakers at the W.Media Cloud and Data Center Convention to find out!

Singapore Cloud & Datacenter Convention 2021

Singapore Cloud & Datacenter Show Returns this July 2021

The rise of Singapore in the Cloud Computing, and Datacenter sphere is remarkable, and startlingly impressive for a nation with limited space. Its position as a mature datacenter hub both lends it industry credibility, but at the same time motivates regional counterparts to emerge as market contenders. To that end, Indonesia, and Malaysia have emerged as the most formidable Cloud Computing and Datacenter competitors. Having led the industry in  APAC for over a decade, the market is pivoting towards efficiency and sustainability. Its reliable power grid, coupled with skilled personnel have proved to be overwhelmingly attractive against space scarcity concerns.

As new entrants establish their presence in Singapore, they’re pushed to adapt to the unique features of the market landscape. Singapore’s tight regulatory structure–fuelled by the design inefficiencies inherent to data center architecture–pushes providers to innovate sustainably. In the cloud computing sphere, though, Fintech is king, and the flexibility these cloud enterprises enjoy drives competition and ensures that only the very best stand out.

Will the Lion City continue to punch above its weight?

W. Media is gathering a whole suite of experts to share their local insights at our upcoming Singapore Cloud & Datacenter Convention 2021. This event will offer a comprehensive look at developments on both the technology and business sides of these industries–from regional database management to fintech to 5G adoption.

Vietnam Cloud & Datacenter Convention (Ho Chi Minh) 2021

Ho Chi Minh City’s Cloud & Datacenter Convention
-Thriving on Secured Cloud

The dynamic startup scene in Vietnam is key in the nation’s accelerated growth in Cloud Computing, and Data Centers. The Vietnam’s MIC considers cloud computing platform a digital infrastructure for the development of digital government, economy, and society. The market is forecast to be worth US$ 500 million by 2025, he said, adding that this year, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed its growth by 40%.

Coupled with the central government’s focus on 5G connectivity, and national security concerns leading to data localization laws, the industry stands to undergo massive growth. Within the final months of 2020, all three major mobile carriers in Vietnam announced trials of commercial 5G services, placing Vietnam as one of the first countries in the world to roll out the latest generation of wireless technology, an advance expected to provide a strong boost to the digital economy. The latter’s effect was in some part, stemmed due to Indonesia’ example in enacting and adjusting data sovereignty laws, allowing for a working roadmap in dealing with national security measures.

With 70% of Vietnam’s population of 100 million, aged 35 and below, the industry for cloud computing service delivery models is set to expand significantly. Ho Chi Minh City particularly stands as the populous city in Vietnam, with a concentration of start-ups that makes it an extremely lucrative market for expansion. The status of Ho Chi Minh City as a new entrant ready to challenge the status quo with its reliance on self-sufficiency should be explored for the vast opportunities it offers. Considering the immense reverberations Vietnam sent out to Southeast Asia and beyond with its careful selection of 5G network partners, Cybersecurity as a holistic framework becomes pertinent. Industry leaders and new entrants can expect to be in the forefront of the latest developments in Southeast Asia’s rising giant.

Malaysia Cloud & Datacenter Convention 2021

Event Summary

Malaysia stands at the very edge of maturing into a fully-fledged Cloud Computing hub. In Budget 2020, a total of MYR 21.6 bn was earmarked into the National Fiberisation & Connectivity Plan (NFCP). Put in place to accelerate the roll-out of 5G connectivity throughout Malaysia, the resulting high-speed access from NFCP, allows for a total evolution of how businesses exist in the digital sphere. 

At the very heart of the question of the rise in Cloud Technologies in Malaysia, is the market position that the country has its sights on.  

With its expansive terrain, and proximity to a relatively developed cloud computing hub such as Singapore, it has the potential to absolutely challenge mature markets. Recognising this yet to be maximised window of growth, global players like Alibaba have shrewdly and rapidly moved to set-up operations in Malaysia. The Malaysia Cloud and Datacenter Convention 2020 (MYCDC2020) is tailored precisely to the massive game-changing nature of 5G, and the reverberations it carries for all major players in Malaysia’s Cloud Ecosystem.

At W.Media’s Cloud and Data Center Convention, both industry leaders and new entrants alike can expect to be in the forefront on the debate of issues surrounding these rapidly transforming industries.

Virtual Groundbreaking of Digital Realty Seoul Data Center

Event Summary

South Korea is a perfect place to expand data center operations. 

Digital Realty, a leading global provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, will share their exciting plans to boost South Korea’s digital economy by meeting connectivity demands and empowering digital transformation at our next digital event on Wednesday 17 June.

Almost 90% of the country’s population has internet access, it ranks 1st in Asia for telecommunications and is a valuable connection point to the rest of Asia for local and global businesses.

The demand for data centers will continue to grow in the country with the adoption of more cloud services. Gartner reports businesses plan to spend US$3 billion on cloud services in 2021. 

This is great timing for Digital Realty, as their new carrier-neutral facility spanning 129,000 square feet is forecast to be complete in 2021.

But expanding into South Korea comes with its challenges. Land is limited, so Digital Realty looks to overcome this with the tallest purpose-built data center they have ever constructed.

Join industry experts and peers as we take a look at South Korea’s digital future and global impact powered by the backbone of reliable data centers and state of the art infrastructure.

대한민국은 데이터 센터 운영을 확장하기에 완벽한 국가입니다.

세계적인 데이터 센터, 코로케이션 및 상호 연결 솔루션 제공 회사인 Digital Realty는 6 월 17 일 수요일 열리는 W.Media 디지털 이벤트에서 한국의 디지털 경제와 혁신을 강화하기 위한 특별한 계획을 공유 할 것입니다.

대한민국은, 아시아 통신 분야에서 1 위를 차지함과 동시에 전 인구 90 % 가 인터넷에 접속 되어있으며 타지역 및 글로벌 비즈니스에 있어 아시아의 IT 중추 지역으로 여겨집니다.

더 많은 기업이 클라우드 서비스을 채택함으로 인해 데이터 센터의 수요가 계속 증가 할 것으로 예상되고 있으며 가트너는 2021년 한국 기업들이 클라우드 서비스에 사용하는 비용은 30억 달러를 초과할 것이라고 예측하고 있습니다.

게다가, 2021년 Digital Realty는 129,000 제곱미터에 이르는 새로운 사업자 중립성이 보장된 데이터 센터가 완성 될 계획에 있어 이는 Digital Realty 에게 굉장히 유리한 시기로 예상이 됩니다.

그러나 한국 진출은 그에 따른 어려움이 따릅니다. 한국내에서의 데이터센터로 투자 가능한 토지는 제한적이어서, Digital Realty는 회사가 보유한 가장 높은 고층의 데이터 센터 운영을 통해 이를 극복하고자 합니다.

믿을 수 있는 데이터센터와 최첨단의 인프라 백본을 기본으로 한 한국의 디지털 미래와 글로벌 파급효과를 고찰 할 수 있는 기회를 산업가 전문가 및 동료들과 지금 바로 함께 하세요.

Sustainable Data Centers in Southeast Asia: Expectations versus Reality

Hosted By

Event Summary

Just as data centers transformed the power of computing, so is sustainability transforming the power of data centers. Join industry experts from Schneider Electric as we examine both the benefits and barriers to adopting eco-friendly technology here in South East Asia. Sustainable design will impact professionals in all sectors of the industry—from colocation providers to hyperscalers to end users—so register today and join the conversation!

Each year, Data centers pump out a staggering 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions globally—a figure that puts them on track to overtake the carbon footprint produced by the entire aviation industry in coming years. And though technological achievements in the industry have led to an unprecedented advancement in global connectivity and informatics, efficiency has long been the industry’s glaring blind spot. In fact, some data centers waste up to 90% of the electricity they pull from the grid.

Data Centers in Southeast Asia are no exception; 7% of all electricity consumed in Singapore comes from data centers, while neighboring Malaysia recently racked up a data center energy bill of $171 million USD.

The financial and environmental impact of these trends are only going to worsen unless we act now.

Luckily, some key players are already taking initiative. Governments around the world are implementing carbon neutrality regulations and green data center standards, and more and more end-users are introducing environmentally-friendly and zero carbon targets into their corporate social responsibility strategies. The pressure on data center operators to adopt sustainable solutions is mounting on multiple fronts.

Data center providers recognize this: in a recent global survey of over 800 data center providers, most respondents saw efficiency and sustainability as strategic to their businesses going forward. That is why it is crucial for data center operators to work with energy management specialists to innovate and implement sustainable solutions when engineering their facilities. 

But of course, the future of data centres requires eco-friendly solutions that also uphold end-user requirements. How can we eliminate inefficiencies and align with regulations without sacrificing a data center’s capabilities?

Join the Schneider Electric team for a power hour discussion of the latest insights, groundbreaking solutions and best practices for building a sustainable future in a more electric world.

More about OCP

  • Since 2016 OCP vanity free open source hardware has been adopted by the worlds Telecommunications Service Providers to Cloudify their infrastructure for supporting tomorrow’s technologies of  5G, IoT and Smart Cities. This transformation to open source technologies has produced 70% CAPEX reductions and more than 50% OPEX reductions.
  • OCP servers also use 50% less energy than traditional proprietary enterprise servers and Steve will highlight how companies are aligning energy efficiency targets with their use of open source hardware.  Furthermore, the drivers of adoption of OCP are growing more diverse – cost reduction and power efficiency are still the biggest reasons why, but the market is now realizing that feature flexibility and conformance to those specifications approved by OCP provide a measure of “comfort” to the market.

Green Data Center

Event Summary

The concerns about environmental impacts, electricity costs, and the tremendous energy demands of data centers are mounting. 

Data centers accounted for a staggering 205 terawatt-hours of electricity usage or roughly 1% of all global electricity consumption in 2018 as well as producing an alarming 200 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.

In order to minimize the energy consumption and the environmental impact the data center brings to the environment, along with the encouragement from the government, a large number of data center operators, including Korean enterprises have started to adopt diverse green technologies and actively making social changes to reduce carbon emissions and establish a positive brand image to customers by obtaining Green Data Center Certificate.  

To minimize the tremendous energy consumption and environmental problems, many domestic data center enterprises actively adopt various green technologies and sustainable IT infrastructures, with encouragement from the Government. Moreover, the Korea Information Technology Service Industry Association (ITSA) started to launch the Green Data Center Certificate to contribute to the reduction of the overall energy consumption. By 2020, ITSA has aimed to have more than 15% of local data centers obtain the certificate. 

So what does it take to implement a green data center in Korea? Is there going to be a rising demand for introducing sustainable IT infrastructure in the domestic market? And what is the ideal strategy to achieve sustainability and profitability in the data center business?

If you’re looking for the answers to these questions, you’ve come to the right place. Join industry experts and fellow decision-makers on Thursday 13 August to get the answers. 

Spaces are limited, so register now to prepare for your Green Data Center future.

데이터 센터는 현대인들에게 다양한 IT 서비스를 제공하는데 필수적인 시설이지만, 막대한 전기 에너지 사용으로 인해 지구 온난화와 환경에 미치는 부정적 영향에 대한 우려 있기도 합니다. 

한 조사에 따르면 2018년도 전세계 데이터 센터 산업은 전세계 전력 소비량의 약 1%에 해당하는 205 테라와트시의 전력을 사용하여 무려 2억톤의 이산화탄소를 배출하였다고 발표하였습니다. 

이러한 막대한 에너지 소비와 그에 따른 환경 문제를 최소화하기 위해서 국내의 많은 데이터 센터 전문 기업들은 정부의 친환경 그린(green) 테크놀로지 채택 독려에 힘입어, 다양한 그린 테크놀로지 및 친환경 IT 인프라를 적극적으로 도입하고 있습니다. 또한 한국 IT서비스산업협회는 관련 산업의 에너지 절감을 촉진하기 위하여 그린 데이터 센터 인증 (또는 그린DC인증) 제도를 운영하기 시작했습니다.협회는 2020년까지 국내 데이터 센터의 15% 이상이 그린 데이터 센터 인증을 취득하는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.

그렇다면, 그린 데이터 센터를 실현하기 위해서는 어떤 노력들이 필요할까요? 국내 시장에서 친환경 IT 인프라 도입의 필요성이 지속적으로 제기될 수 있을까요? 마지막으로, 데이터 센터 기업이 참고할 만한, 비즈니스 측면과 친환경 측면을 함께 고려하는 일석이조의 방안이 있을까요?

만약 위의 질문의 답을 찾고 계신다면, 2020년 8월 13일 목요일, 관련 업계 전문가와 함께 그린 데이터 센터 관련 시장의 현황과 그의 필요성에 대해 배우면서 그 해답을 찾으시길 추천드립니다.

현재 웨비나 참여 가능한 자리가 한정되어 있습니다. 전세계 및 국내의 친환경 그린 데이터 센터에 관하여 더 깊이 알고 싶으신 분들은 지금 바로 등록하시기 바랍니다.
