Panel: How is our industry facing an impending energy crisis?
Wednesday, April 26, 2023 11:10 AM to 11:50 AM · 40 min. (Europe/Monaco)
Génois Theatre (Level +2)
Information
According to Gartner, data centre operators see a 40% increase in costs due to the looming energy crisis. In addition, similar price spikes could potentially happen in the data centre market over the next six to 12 months meaning that power pricing may impact smaller cloud operators needing to pass on the cost.
This panel will discuss:
• What contingency plans are operators considering to tackle the current energy crisis?
• Are there initiatives such as a waste heat reuse program take place in order to combat the energy crisis in Europe?
• Power provisioning – would sustainable alternatives help?
