Moreover , it does so with an ethos for ultra-efficient and sustainable operations , supporting today ’ s businesses with green digital infrastructure that can meet demands for a reduced carbon footprint and industryleading uptime .
Traditionalism vs revolutionary , sustainable change With the proliferation of digitalisation driving a rapid pace of change across all industries , it appears that many data centre stakeholders are prepared for any sign of shifting trends . According to Kao Data ’ s chief commercial officer ( COO ), Spencer Lamb , this forwardthinking data centre operator is more than ready for the technological challenges that lay ahead .
“ Over the last two-to-three years , against the backdrop of COVID-19 , we ' ve seen the data centre market mature faster than ever ,” explains Lamb . “ We ' ve also seen investor appetite for the industry get more and more prolific , as investors that have previously sought ‘ safe ’, traditional investments have shifted their focus towards ESG and digital technologies .”
“ Data centres have also become the critical infrastructure where business is facilitated . Advanced facilities such as our high-performance KLON-01 data centre in Harlow have become one of many crucial pillars in the UK digital economy ,” he adds .
The decline of the modern retail high street due to the rise of ecommerce platforms is one example of an industry that has embraced digital transformation and has seen an increased need for data centres that can cater to a wide range of data requirements .
However , with a complex array of new technologies impacting both data centre designs and computing infrastructures , today ’ s colocation operators need to push the envelope to meet demands for both performance and sustainability .
“ What we ' re trying to do is make sure that our data centres are intricately designed to drive operational and energy efficiency , no matter the type of deployment ”
