Football fever is spreading. As we publish the first June edition of Data Centre Magazine, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is only a few days away. But the phenomenon as we know it today would not be possible without a dazzling array of innovative technologies and, crucially, the digital infrastructure underpinning them. As a homage to this monumental sporting phenomenon, we have a dedicated special feature on Lenovo’ s crucial role in the event. Football not your thing? Not to worry, we’ ve still got you covered with a fine range of features, including:

• Microsoft’ s microLED innovation

• Energy optimisation from Trane Technologies

• Veolia’ s comprehensive data centre offering.

Thank you, as always, for reading – and please enjoy June’ s first edition.
