- How are operators/owners maximizing existing infrastructure?
- Innovations in power protection and cooling methodologies: Has the pressure to ensure competitive sustainability while reducing operating costs opened up data center operators to new solutions?
- Are colo customers really as weary of non-traditional infrastructure systems for colo providers as the industry suggests?
