If you think the Data Centre sector isn't a growth industry, you're living under a rock. However, we need a more sustainable approach as building massive silos has implications for local infrastructure and power availability. Moving workloads to the edge not only overcomes latency issues, it can make use of already committed but underutilised power supplies. And shifting away from traditional cooling technology slashes power consumption. Unfortunately, the high demand will mean a rush to deploy as profit is chased. What we should be doing is taking a step back and devising a better strategy to sustain long-term growth. https://lnkd.in/dphJaPAb

Driven by advances such as real-time AI, and the rapid acceleration of data creation and consumption, edge computing is the obvious evolution of the internet and a rapidly growing market. Largely untapped, edge represents an investment opportunity which is about to experience a hockey stick growth curve. Our COO Chris Ward-Jones explains more in the following article which explores some of the advances driving growth and what this means for early investors. #investment #technology #venturecapital https://lnkd.in/d-EV5pvi

The future of the data centre industry is only going in one direction and it's great to see this being recognised by the UK Government. Whilst there will always be a demand for large silos, in reality smaller edge deployments will become much more common in the coming years as demand for applications such as real-time AI grows. #uk #datacentre #datacenter https://lnkd.in/ehxDG7sb
