The inaugural Future of Data Centers podcast launches with the first episode of a three-part mini-series addressing the critical and controversial topic of data centers and sustainability. Host and moderator Joel Makower - Co-founder, Chairman, and Executive Editor of GreenBiz - takes listeners on a journey to explore the important topic of data center construction vs. modernization. The discussion blasts off with data center sustainability predictions from Arun Shenoy, VP of Sales and Marketing, and Sam Brown, VP of Engineering/Construction, at Serverfarm. Tech Journalist Ambrose McNevin also joins the podcast to discuss the impact of embodied carbon and how data center leaders must continue on a path toward mitigating climate change by modernizing facilities instead of building them.

“Even with the great strides made by the construction industry to address its carbon impact, all construction projects involve embodied carbon. It’s been said that the cleanest data center is not powered by renewable energy; it is one that does not need to be built.”

In this episode, we cover several key topics including:

Net zero, and a global pact across the data center industry to achieve it. [4:33]
Embodied carbon during the construction phase of data centers. [7:00]
Best practices for modernizing data center facilities. [10:40]
Reuse, Recycle, Reduce [2:29]
And lots more!
