Over the past few years we've often mused on what the 'Data Centre of the Future' will look like, and many of our collegues in the sector say that they look very much like the data centres of today, with some tweaks, this is largely due to the fact that DCs tend to have a fairly long lifespan, 25 years +, but is this really the case?
In order to explore this, we've arranged to hold a 'Data Centre of the Future' event at our National Data Centre Academy on the 22nd January 2025, there are limited tickets available and you can register for the event using this link.
