Panel discussion: Risks, rewards and responsible business: how has the industry responded to the challenge to remain 24/7 in the face of the pandemic?
The pandemic is proving to be an on-going inflection point simulating radical social, economic and technological change.
With virtually no industry left untouched by the hallmarks of social distancing, travel restrictions and ‘work from home’ culture, data centers have not been immune to the need for crisis management and the re-defining of new rules to expedite business continuity.
We ask a star-studded panel of operators and suppliers how they define the term ‘responsible business’ during a pandemic and how they are balancing the health risk to a workforce with the need for continued productivity and profitability. What challenges have suppliers faced in a bid to contribute to the demand for 100% uptime and 24/7 infrastructure management? Has the corporate business model been altered for good?
