Back in August 2020, we published the first-ever Data Centre Magazine. Fast forward six years to today, and we are thrilled to be sharing our 50 th issue. To say the industry has evolved in the interim would be a huge understatement! So what can you expect from Issue 50? In The Data Centre Interview, Spencer Lamb, CEO of Kao Data shares insights into the company’ s landmark deal with Nebius and how it supports the UK’ s sovereign AI ambitions. Elsewhere, our features include:

• The role of sustainable materials in the Data Center Innovation Initiative

• Shifting from a calendar-to conditionbased maintenance strategy

• Why warmer coolant could unlock server efficiency

As always, thank you for reading and please enjoy August’ s first issue.
