TECH & AI
Experts say AI and sustainability will shape cloud solutions The future of cloud solutions will be based around two main themes , AI and sustainability .
For Youlian , being sustainable means making the most of the energy used , even if it is coming from renewables . NextGen Cloud is already offsetting its emissions by using renewable sources – but that is only one aspect of mitigating climate impact .
“ We are still trying to reduce our total energy consumption with more efficient infrastructure ,” says Youlian . “ The next generation of chips are liquid cooled , which reduces energy consumption by 60 % – potentially more when immersed liquid cooling becomes more available . We are making our facilities ready to accept direct and immersed liquid cooling .”
Moussa believes that the future holds huge opportunities and new directions for cloud technologies , particularly when combined with the power of AI .
“ By leveraging AI , companies can enhance their cloud-based communication systems with advanced analytics , automation and personalised experiences , driving greater efficiency and innovation ,” he says .
