Where knowledge meets trust

Sustainable heating and cooling

Data centres consume massive amounts of energy, resulting in high operational expenses and ongoing environmental concerns. Striking a balance between increasing power needs and meeting net zero targets is a continuous struggle.

We are helping some of the industry’s leading data centre operators explore heating and cooling innovations, alternative power sources, and sustainable energy and water solutions to scale their capacity sustainably and affordably.

Arguably the biggest pressure on the industry is how it responds to the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The integration of AI into industries from healthcare to finance, not to mention the breathtaking speed at which the technology has entered our everyday lives, has spurred an unprecedented demand for computational power, storage capabilities, and efficient data processing. A trend that shows no sign of slowing, it is undoubtedly set to reshape the landscape of the industry globally.

The data centre industry is facing a critical skills shortage as the demand for data storage and processing continues to surge. Professionals with expertise in the digital infrastructure industry are in high demand.

Soben is working to address the skills gap by championing programmes that upskill professionals and provide training, educational initiatives and inspiration for people considering a career in the industry.

Looking to the future – data centre trends

Our specialist team stays at the forefront of the industry’s developments so that we can help our global data centre clients scale faster and respond quicker to ever-changing requirements. From the implications of AI on data centre construction and design, to innovative supply chain and procurement strategies, our experts have shared insights on the trends that will shape the market in the years to come.

What our customers say...
