ENGINEERED FOR THE FUTURE
Welcome to the first edition of Data Centre Magazine for October. In The Data Centre Interview, we welcome Mark Pestridge, Managing Director of Telehouse, to unpack some of the myths surrounding data centre careers and how to close the skills gap. Elsewhere, our features include:
• Channelling civil engineering expertise in site selection
• Hybrid approaches to thermal management
• Building resilient and secure next-gen facilities
We also dive into DCByte’ s 2026 Global Data Centre Index Report and revisit some of the must-listen podcast episodes from the past month. Last, but by no means least, this issue’ s Top 10 ranks the world-leading cloud providers. As always, thank you for reading and enjoy!
