FEATURE : DATACENTRES
While innovations abound , generating RoI is challenging
With soaring digital transformation , datacentres are being expected to deliver more with less energy , and while innovations such as modular designs , liquid cooling , faster deployment , energy efficiency are helping , RoI is challenging . Expert inputs from ALEC Datacentre , CommScope , Eaton .
Businesses benefit from datacentres as a means for employees connecting with each other enabling them to work from home , the office or during their travel efficiently .
“ Beyond that , a key benefit of a datacentre is the ability to centralise data management . Having one interconnected space to store all their data is vital to a business as it allows for more efficient management and analysis of data , reduction of duplication work , and mitigation of unnecessary resources or work through better insights into business operations ,” says Ehab Kanary , VP Enterprise Infrastructure , EMEA Emerging Markets , CommScope .
The latest innovations are means to drive a more sustainable and reasonable carbon footprint as they focus on mitigating the emissions that are usually associated with datacentres .
CommScope initiatives aim to develop breakthrough technology solutions and products that will help reduce environmental impact and help customers meet their decarbonisation goals .
On going innovations
We are seeing a greater prevalence of modular datacentre designs that allows for greater scalability and greater cost-effectiveness . We are also seeing the emergence of edge datacentres , deployed closer to end-users to reduce latency and improve performance . These facilities will become critical to the region as organisations seek optimised latency
