The race to achieving net zero targets is well under way. Data centres, as the cornerstone across all industries and life, are continually exploring cleaner technologies to turn operations green. Siemens is at the forefront of supporting this reality together.
We are leading this transformation with our framework of helping data centres to establish a competitive edge through sustainability, resilience and life-cycle performance.
At Data Centre World, Singapore 2022, from 12-13 Oct 2022, Siemens joined key stakeholders in the data centre industry to outline the materiality of sustainability issues in the data centre industry; hearing from international and local thought-leaders, and deep-dive into topic sessions on market, trends, expectations, challenges, and latest technologies.

Abstract:
Lithium-ion battery storage systems are increasingly being used to decarbonize Data Centre operations. This short session will focus on the additional fire risks involved with Li-ion batteries, which are not typically considered in traditional fire protection design. You will get insights into the mechanism of thermal runaway in Li-ion batteries and into some common misconceptions in the industry. You will also be introduced to technology which can protect your Data Centres from a catastrophic thermal runaway event.

Our experience makes the difference – and it continues to grow. Mastering today’s data centre challenges is one thing, but to stay ahead of the competition, you need a reliable partner with a comprehensive portfolio and the ingenuity to make real, what truly matters…
How to de-stress the data centre infrastructure?
The growth of a data centre or data centre network is too often constrained by its own design, management practices, production objectives, and resource priorities. When we treat the data centre more as an organic entity rather than a human endeavor, we constrain its evolution, to the detriment of both its operators and its customers. In this report, we call your attention to five such constraints that may be commonly found in data centre growth plans.
