The Education Program is looking for Capstone Mentors!
It's Back to School Again... This means we are looking for Mentors for our '24-'25 Capstone students! The Infrastructure Masons Capstone is a year-long project in which University students in their final year of study work in groups to: - Design a national network of Data Centers to support the needs of a fictitious app; and, - Design a Data Center on one of their Network sites. This is an excellent opportunity to meet the next generation of potential #DigitalInfrastructure talent (and interview them for a year!). This year's Capstone will also include a round of speed-interviewing in the Spring Semester! All Infrastructure Masons members are welcome to serve as mentors. Please email courtney@imasons.org for more information.

Our society is not typically aware of how much of the World's economy and most of our daily life activities rely on IT & Digital Infrastructure. People do not realize what is behind the scenes to make it happen. Tons of resources, deployed infrastructure, invested capital and hard working professionals. Most people do not even understand the technicalities and consequences. Today, there were passengers that could not board their flights, patients that did not get medical treatment, people that could not perform bank transactions, several businesses that weren't able to operate or receive payments. Today the world has become more aware of the criticality of this industry; Digital Infrastructure: IT, Cloud, Data Centers and Telecom touches every sector, every industry and every aspect of our current economy. The world has become Digital, there are very few process where we do not depend on the Digital Infrastructure running. Old manual processes and transactions are long gone and when the Digital Systems are impacted , we cannot longer function and run transactions in the new economy. We at Infrastructure Masons are uniting the World's digital professionals to build better designs, redundant and resilient topologies with an innovative approach that shall benefit future World 's Digital Economy.

The combination of iMasons’ global perspective, ADCA’s local market intelligence and the greenfield opportunities across Africa set the stage to achieve economic, social and ecological balance in every community where digital infrastructure is deployed. In the recent iMasons’ State of the Industry Report, global members identified four universal challenges to meeting today’s unprecedented demand for digital infrastructure: -- Access to concentrated sources of clean power -- Ability to find, train, hire and retain people to build, operate, and maintain digital infrastructure -- Willingness to earn a positive perception by being a good neighbor in the communities where digital infrastructure is deployed -- Steadfast focus on decarbonization of digital infrastructure to protect the planet. The proposed solution to these challenges? Clean energy zones.
