Green Data Center Podcast
From Google to Amazon, 5G to blockchain, selfies to self-driving, the internet is expected to become an even bigger part of our lives - and it's all supported by a growing legion of mammoth facilities known as data centers. Our digital footprint grows phenomenally every year and that data passes through, is stored and processed by the contents of these largest of energy intensive buildings on the planet. **** This podcast focuses on the facilities, technologies, vendors, owners, developers, and everything else related to sustainability & data centers.
