𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻, 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝘂𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 💡 Everybody will acknowledge that the data center industry faces a staff shortage in the upcoming years. As the world’s population is ageing and (new) engineers are hard to find, it is time for concrete actions. However, as an industry, we are very keen on mentioning the ‘problem’ but most of the time these actions and solutions remain more abstract. That is why Datacentered has asked DC People and EPI - Enterprise Products Integration Pte Ltd to share their thoughts on this matter, including useful tips on how to attract new people.

“We must approach data centers not as mere technical containers, but as vessels of imagination, and elevate their architecture to match the boundless creativity they support”, writes Fulvia Beyer of NIO+dC in the latest issue of Datacentered. Incorporating creative design thinking into data center architecture not only addresses functional requirements but also opens the door for exceptional innovation. By embedding the natural forces of the environment into the design, data centers can become cutting-edge symbols of sustainability and progress.

𝙍𝙚𝙗𝙚𝙡 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝘼 𝘾𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 People who have the urge to think differently drive innovation. For the fifth issue of Datacentered, Pim Kokke (PK) spoke with Sr. Communications Manager Melissa Scholten (MS) of Digital Realty about her career, the data center industry but most of all about the concept of role models. 𝗣𝗞: “A Rebel with a Cause makes sure that he or she gets to a place, analyzes what is going well and especially what could be better and then starts to make changes to turn things around. Would you see yourself this way?” 𝗠𝗦: “Yes, I think so. I try to move outside the paired jobs to stand out in the work I do. That also comes from what you run into and the piece of luck you have sometimes. When I came into the data center industry, people were used to keeping the doors closed, whereas I saw an opportunity to actually show the outside world who we are. That was a bit rebellious at the time, but I believed in that vision. If I believe in something, I also find it difficult when I am held back. And even if that happens, I do always try to find a way in which something can still fit and it still succeeds.” Read the full interview including the beautiful photos of Hugo Onink (Lifeshots Photography) on page 30: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gHQpBv8X
