Fireside chat: How is data center site selection changing to secure a reliable energy supply?

Over the last year data centers have experienced unprecedented shortages in power supply as well as soaring energy prices, leaving their operations vulnerable to outages. Despite this, the industry continues to expand, putting increasing pressure on the grid which is already at breaking point. So, how can data centers negotiate these challenges, and where can they look to find a secure energy supply?

During this episode industry experts will explore how data centers are moving away from traditional hubs, to tier-2 markets and beyond, in order to access grids that are not constrained by capacity and tap into new energy sources. Critically we explore how much more power is available in different regions, whether relocating operations could come at the cost of latency, and how out of the box site selection can provide data centers with cleaner, more reliable energy.
