🏢Data Center & Real Estate Conference🏢 Last week, BCS attended the Data Center & Real Estate Conference, held in Milan. The event emphasised the role of data centres in the Italian Market, and the need to update and adapt existing legislation to meet the needs of an asset with a different identity than the industrial or logistical one currently envisaged. It also served as a platform for industry leaders to gather and explore the growing investment potential of data centres in Italy. Key topics included the intersection of sustainability and digital innovation, strategies for real estate recovery, and the role of data centres in supporting eco-friendly urban development. #DataCentre #DataCenter #Sustainability #Innovation #Networking #DigitalInfrastructure

The recent boom in data center and mission-critical projects is a testament to the ever-growing demand for reliable infrastructure in our digital world. From advanced design to innovative construction methods, this sector continues to push boundaries and set new standards for excellence. We recently had the pleasure of working with Bill Mazzetti at Rosendin, diving into the incredible work they’re doing in this space. Their expertise and vision are paving the way for the future of data center innovation. We’re proud to be part of the conversation, working alongside industry leaders to showcase their expertise and contributions to this vital space. The future of data centers is brighter than ever, and the possibilities are endless! 💻⚡🏗️ North America Outlook Magazine. #DataCenters #MissionCritical #Innovation #DigitalInfrastructure

🌱 Building a sustainable digital future 🌍 At Data4 Group, we are committed to designing and building low-carbon #datacenters to reduce our environmental impact. Thanks to several years of R&D and innovative eco-design guidelines, we have already achieved: ✅ -13% carbon footprint per MW IT built (Scope 3) ✅ The delivery of our first low-carbon foundation data center ✅ The continued deployment of low-carbon hollow slabs And this is just the beginning! 🚀 By 2030, we aim to further cut our carbon footprint by 38%. 🔎 Discover more in our infographic! 👇 https://lnkd.in/eH3anNUF

As the demand for data centers skyrockets, a new frontier might lie beyond Earth—space. In a recent InformationWeek article by Carrie Pallardy, DataArt's CIO, Yuri Gubin, shared insights on the challenges and potential of launching data centers into orbit, emphasizing, "Even before GenAI joined the equation, we began to have data center capacity constraints." This ambitious concept, supported by the European Commission, highlights the potential to alleviate environmental impacts and resource constraints faced by terrestrial data centers.
