Data centers are facing more public scrutiny than ever, especially around power, water, land use and AI. In response, we just published "A Fact-Based Guide to 5 Top Data Center Concerns" to support informed, constructive conversations. We hope this is a valuable resource for anyone navigating conversations about the future of digital infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/ey4VTyFz Tara Gibb Chris Murphy Brian Holak

News from #DataCenterWorld by Chris Murphy about Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Joseph Kava
Joe Kava was recognized with the Lifetime Achievement Award at Data Center World this week, recognizing his 17 years leading data center development at Google. Joe’s work helped define what we know today as hyperscale data centers, including setting new standards for sustainability. In accepting his award, here’s what Joe had to say to the next generation of leaders in the data center industry: "We have the opportunity to change the way data centers interact with the [electrical] grid and help solve the energy crisis. So, as I look at the younger leaders in the industry today, my advice is this: Don’t build for capacity, build for legacy. Build the data centers and systems that are as sustainable as they are powerful. The last 20 years have been an incredible ride, but I truly believe the most innovative days for the data center industry are still ahead of us.” I was fortunate to interview Joe, and he reflected on some key moments and lessons from his career, including the mid-career leap of faith he took that would eventually lead him to his success at Google. https://lnkd.in/gV2iq5BX Bill Kleyman Tara Gibb Allison Watson
