Data Centre Review is excited to introduce a new monthly column series titled On the Record, which will showcase insights and perspectives from established contributors within the data centre industry. This ongoing series aims to shed light on key issues shaping the sector, including resilience, energy regulation, emerging technologies, and more.
At its core, Data Centre Review has always been a platform for diverse opinions to thrive, and the On the Record series will continue this tradition. Unlike one-off guest commentaries, On the Record will feature recurring contributions from experts, providing readers with a consistent stream of industry viewpoints to follow and learn from over time.
What can readers expect from On the Record? Each column will offer a direct and accountable viewpoint from recognized organizations or specialist contributors. Topics will range from design, build, and operations best practices to emerging trends, energy sustainability, infrastructure resilience, and skills development within the data centre landscape.
The series kicks off with two initial contributors: the Data Centre Alliance and Critical Careers. On the Record with the Data Centre Alliance will offer an industry-wide perspective on standards, priorities, and crucial conversations impacting the sector. On the other hand, On the Record with Critical Careers will focus on promoting careers and representation in the industry, particularly highlighting the challenges faced by women entering the data centre field.
The first installment of On the Record with the Data Centre Alliance is already live, delving into the critical issue of water scarcity and the potential for the UK’s data centre industry to reduce its water usage. As the series progresses, more contributors will be added, broadening the scope of organizations and topics covered within On the Record. Stay tuned for insightful discussions and valuable insights from industry experts in the upcoming columns.
