2/7 Live in Cannes! From Wall-E to Net Zero: Sustainability and the Storytelling Future of Data Centres

We’re back with the Datacloud Power Hour in Cannes, France!

Andy Davis and co-host, Rory Flashman, is joined by Nick Ewing, Managing Director at EfficiencyIT, and George Britton-Read, Chief Operating Officer at Northshore, to discuss how data centre infrastructures can reach their goals of sustainability, and how we can change the narrative for the next talent.

“There are so many stories about where data centres and the role of data centres in what’s going on in the world for the last few years, where incredible things have happened. People have no idea how integral things like compute, AI, HPC, storage, power, intelligence – we wouldn’t be where we are if a data centre didn’t exist”. – Nick Ewing

Tackling the myth of net zero, and how to teach the next generation about the digital landscape, the episode tells the positive stories of the digital infrastructure, re-educating public opinion on data centres – whether it’s by building virtual cities or looking at Wall-E!
