The truly sustainable cloud – not just a myth

With power-hungry data centres continuously being built to keep up with the growing demands of cloud computing, the cloud is often associated with carbon emission issues. In this presentation at Smart Grids & Cleanpower 2012 at Cambridge University (New Hall) on 14 June, Tate Cantrell, CTO of Verne Global, will debunk the preconceptions surrounding powering the cloud, discussing game-changing alternative data centre sites where power is not only 100% carbon free, but also more affordable than in traditional data centre locations.
