TECHNOLOGY
differentiates yourselves – and maybe pushes the boundaries of what we have done in the past . Driving a more sustainable data centre – a data centre of the future – is critical .
Data centres of the future “ When you talk about next generation data centres , it ’ s going to be more autonomous from an electrical source , removing some of the inherent fossil fuel-driven backup systems like diesel generators ,” Bradner explains . “ Being able to generate your own energy sources , leveraging that to run your data centre , we ’ re probably going to see changes in that upstream electrical infrastructure to enable it . Most of it is going to come on the back of implementing AI back into the data centre and make it more adaptive and intelligent .
“ What we have already is a lot of monitoring . Almost all of our products are connectable , but it ’ s about how you translate that into a business objective for the customer and then automate the operation of the infrastructure to best optimise efficiency , sustainability goals and the rest . That ’ s where I think interesting things are happening , and that ’ s where we ’ re focusing a lot of our innovation activities , despite the fact that we talked a lot about liquid cooling and the impact of AI for us is to use that to make our systems more intelligent and adaptive .”
In December ’ s Data Centre Magazine , one of Schneider Electric ’ s partners , STACK Infrastructure , will showcase how they utilise technology – like that provided by Schneider – inside their MIL01 data centre facility in Milan to deliver unparalleled levels of efficiency and sustainability as it works toward a climatepositive future , with people and businesses in the local community at the core of its mission .
