Growth is everywhere. The data center industry itself is expected to grow to $517.17 billion by 2030. The size of AI models and their resultant workloads is growing. The computing power at our disposal is growing. And, not one to be left out, the cost of hardware is growing too.

How can data centers continue this growth momentum without being hampered by hardware cost? As hardware becomes increasingly obsolete, what creative solutions exist to enable organisations of different shapes and sizes compete? Join our panel as they explore:

  • Enterprise: As on-premises costs continue to rise, how can enterprise data centers keep pace with both the mounting costs and the accelerating computing power of newer hardware?
  • Hyperscale: How can hyperscalers futureproof their data centers at scale?
  • Colocation: How can colocation providers and managed service providers work with enterprise clients to ensure their hardware renewal doesn’t break the bank but keeps pace with AI workloads?
