SHAHID RAHMAN TITLE : EMEA DATA CENTRE STRATEGIC ACCOUNT LEAD ( ENGINEERED IT COOLING SOLUTIONS )
COMPANY : MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC INDUSTRY : ELECTRONICS LOCATION : UNITED KINGDOM
As a data centre strategic account lead at Mitsubishi Electric , Shahid applies his certified data centre professional ( CDCDP ) credentials and more than 10 years of industry experience to deliver engineered IT cooling solutions for complex and variable cooling loads . His goal is to ensure that critical IT equipment remains sustainable .
Sustainability is currently one of the main concerns for the industry , with multiple leading data centre companies like Digital Realty , CyrusOne , Schneider Electric and Iron Mountain investing in more energy-efficient solutions .
Data centres are now considering myriad new ways to be sustainable – with one solution being heat reuse . The technology could contribute to organisations being more energy efficient as they seek to make good on their sustainability and Net Zero pledges .
“ Shifting the focus onto the reuse of heat energy actually gives data centres the potential to decarbonise further and build a greener future ,” Shahid comments . “ In fact , excess heat from data centres can be used to heat other nearby buildings – including homes – and provide them a more sustainable heating source .”
