Center Business in Europe at Schneider Electric, highlights how innovation aligns with environmental goals amid unprecedented demand growth.
“ The growth of AI doesn’ t have to derail our data centre sustainability goals,” Pablo says.“ Solutions like energy efficient infrastructure, liquid cooling and AI-powered energy management are powerful tools that will help data centres balance performance with environmental responsibility.
“ In future, data centres may also become utilities, combining AI infrastructure and renewable energy systems as one complete ecosystem.”
