Engineering Beyond the Obvious (how engineering insight can support better decisions)

In the rapidly evolving data center industry, building future-proof and resilient facilities relies not on a single "silver bullet" technology, but on profound engineering insight. During this panel, Deerns will explore how a holistic, strategic engineering approach empowers better decision-making for mission-critical infrastructure. We will highlight how Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) modelling provides crucial visibility to accurately evaluate initial investments, ongoing operating costs, and long-term lifecycle implications. Additionally, the discussion will demonstrate how agile Quick Scans help existing data centers assess gaps and adapt to the increasing power and cooling demands of modern IT workloads. Finally, we will examine seawater cooling as a powerful example of how a deeper understanding of local natural resources can drive highly innovative, energy-efficient applications. Join us to discover how looking beyond the obvious can optimize your data center's performance, profitability, and sustainability.
