The Real Cost of Compute

Can Data Centres grow sustainably?

As AI adoption accelerates, so does the demand for the data centres and infrastructure that power it. But that growth is bringing increasing scrutiny around energy consumption, water use, environmental impact and the resources required to support our growing need for compute.

In this session, Amit Mishra will look beyond the headlines to examine the sustainability debate around data centres more closely. He will explore where the concerns are valid, where the conversation may lack context, and how the industry is responding through more sustainable approaches to energy, water, infrastructure and data centre design. The discussion will also consider the bigger question facing the sector: as demand for compute continues to grow, how do we build the infrastructure to support it responsibly?

Your key takeaways:

Understand the environmental and resource challenges associated with growing data centre demand.
Separate some of the common perceptions around data centres from the realities of how the industry operates.
Explore how energy, water, infrastructure and data centre design are evolving to support more sustainable growth.
Gain a broader perspective on what responsible data centre growth could look like as demand for compute continues to rise.
