AGENDA
• Digital Transformation in Society & Business?
• Technology is Triggering Digital Transformation (DT)
• What does Data Centre´s Designer envisioning?
• Flowchart (proposal) for DC´s designing
• Bucket list
Digital Transformation in Society & Business
• Millenials & Gen. “Z” values, immediate response
• Smartphone devices global ubiquity
• Climate change environmental awarness
• CSR responsibility awareness
• Use instead of property (automobile, house, equipment,….)

ADAPT OR DIE
TECHNOLOGY IS
TRIGGERING
DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION (DT)
In Society & Business
But DT is not a –only- about Technology!
So what will happen in Data Centers in 2025+ ?
What must a Data Center´s Designer forsee?
What must a Data Center´s Designer forsee?
Data Center makes business´ money
DCs´ services must be aligned to organization´s business
What must a Data Center´s Designer forsee?
