Green agenda adoption is key

It is estimated that 84 major data centre suffered failures in the past 36 months worldwide. The reason for these failures according to experts included design, specifications, processed and procedures pit in place.

According to renowned expert, Matt Flowerday, data centres consume vast amounts of energy because they are the engine rooms that run today’s Global Digital Economy. However, it is noteworthy that energy utilization in them is grossly inefficient which leads to astronomical rise in temperature and eventually grounds the Data Centre.

In a sensitization training organized by KITS technologies and delivered by Capitoline LLP of United Kingdom in Lagos, Flowerday also noted that 27% of this failure is due largely to power.

Also, he said the training would ensure existing Data Centre’s are run and operated successfully based on best practice and standards in operational management that would include processes, policies and procedures.
