ESTABLISHING NEW DIGITAL GATEWAYS IN THE INDUSTRY

Demand for data is still growing and driving greater investment into the data centre industry. This means that the industry is now tasked with boosting connectivity in order to empower local communities. That is exactly what Digital Realty has hoped to achieve with HER1, its new facility in Crete, in partnership with Schneider Electric’ s prefabricated infrastructure. Both companies are working to bring companies and data together to create future-proof value, whilst also making the Mediterranean an interconnectivity hub. Both organisations have found that, with increased cable investment, Crete is becoming more connected than ever before – leading to increased data traffic as a result. Such demand requires faster time-to-market and improved efficiency. But with great data, comes great sustainability responsibility. We also hear from PolarDC about how they are reporting on sustainability metrics to clients and future-proofing their facilities.
