Connect | London // DCD>Talks live upgrades for operational facilities with Tom Blundy | Salute

Upgrading facilities to meet the demands of AI, HPC, and cloud workloads brings new complexities, particularly when customers remain live. Join Tom Blundy for an exploration of the practical approaches to commissioning, minimising embodied carbon, and managing PUE/WUE within the constraints of operational sites. Drawing on case studies from colocation and enterprise environments, gain insight on balancing new technology adoption with the realities of customer uptime and sustainability targets.

Attend this session to sample real-world case studies on:

• The coordination of a live upgrade programme with nLighten, balancing customer uptime with embodied carbon and planning constraints
• Incremental upgrades in highly regulated environments with Datum, minimising downtime
• Keeping sites live during retrofit projects on Salute sites in the America
• Consideration of embodied carbon in reuse vs replace decisions during upgrades
