Some solutions coming to market have progressed quicker than others, but the unifying factor has been the importance of a collaborative approach, be it a transient edge, a federated edge, a public edge cloud, or the myriad of others.

Large scale data centre activity in the Middle East is becoming increasingly prominent – with end-user spending on global data centre infrastructure projected to reach $200bn by the end of 2021 according to Gartner – as expansion builds take place across Israel, Saudi Arabia, as well as the UAE.

Emphasised by the impact of hyperscalers building large hub data centres closer to their markets and the positioning of data centres strategically in increasingly important hubs, the region is quickly becoming a hotbed of digital infrastructure activity, often driven by legal and regulatory requirements.

This panel divulges:
- Geographic trends – where are the true market hotspots
- The commercial and operational opportunities such sites represent

Дата: 11 мая 2022 г. 09:00-09:50

We create and use more data than ever before with projections only growing exponentially. With the arrival of the Metaverse alongside the global push for more sustainable data centre infrastructure, we need to innovate to meet many of these seemingly “at odds” demands. In this session we will examine:

• What the Metaverse will mean for demands and how we should be planning for it

• How are moratoriums in different regions affecting the industry?

• How are recent net-zero pledges affecting the business strategies at different scales?
