专题小组讨论会：Is decentralization going to fundamentally change the data center landscape in APAC?

日期：2023 年 4 月 13 日 at 下午 1:00 - 下午 2:00 SGT

Speaker: Patrick Chan, Vice President, South Asia

The data center landscape within APAC remains ever-evolving, driven by data usage & industrialization. However, whilst the rise in demand for data centers shows no signs of slowing, tier 1 markets have become increasingly challenging to plan & build in, fuelled by moratoriums, grid constraints and fierce competition for land.

In this episode, expert speakers will consider whether the data center landscape in APAC has inherently shifted and what this means for the future of data center build in the region. Do increasingly stringent data sovereignty laws and improved subsea cable connectivity mean that Tier 2 markets such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam will become the next data center hotspots? What will be the impact of telco deregulation? Will more colos look to make the move to take advantage of the better land and power availability and connectivity provided by hyperscalers in Tier 2 cities? Speakers provide insight on whether the decentralization trend is here to stay, and what all of this means for those looking to operate in the region.

• What people are doing in the best end-to-end sustainability programs
• Define the key elements needed in a sustainability strategy, along with the measures necessary for a successful implementation, and the processes required to assess progress against goals and objectives
• Build objectives – for example. the first objective of a good sustainability plan is outlining the steps required to minimize energy use through efficiency measures, and identify the benefits realized by replacing electricity from nonrenewable sources with renewably generated energy and how to build from that point
• How to create greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals that consider Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
• Inclusion and the importance of IT Equipment efficiency (servers, storage, and networking) in a sustainability plan, as this area accounts for a significant proportion of a data center’s energy use. Energy use is wasted, despite efficiency improvements achieved in the last decade
