Equinix: “Rethinking water in the data centre industry”

In this second episode of our special series with Equinix, host Andy Davis sits down with Alex Setmajer, Sustainability manager in Global Design and Construction team, to explore how water is becoming a key factor in the future of digital infrastructure.

Alex explains how Equinix manages water use across regions, adopts reclaimed sources, and makes choices that support both ecosystems and local communities.

Key topics:

  • The growing importance of water in data centre planning and operations
  • How local environmental factors shape infrastructure choices
  • Innovative approaches to water reuse and conservation
  • Common misconceptions about water consumption in tech
  • How Equinix balances performance with ecological responsibility

This episode offers a fresh perspective on how sustainability and operational excellence can go hand in hand, especially when it comes to one of our planet’s most vital resources.
