Unlocking cross-industry value: Strategic ways to enhance data center power needs
AI has revolutionized industries worldwide, driving unprecedented growth in data center infrastructure. As organizations increasingly leverage AI to enhance decision-making, automate processes, and drive innovation, the demand for high-performance computing resources has surged, leading to significant challenges in managing power consumption and cooling needs within data centers. In this Viewpoint, we discuss how liquified natural gas (LNG) presents a sustainable option for optimizing consumption, maximizing data center value, and reducing cooling efforts.

Green data centers: opportunities for decarbonization
Energy consumption by the data center industry accounts for more than 1% of the world’s power consumption and is expected to reach 8% by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. The EU aims to be climate neutral by 2050, and data centers can contribute significantly to that goal. Iberia, targeted as a strategic cloud region by hyperscalers and other cloud players, has all the key factors for green data center location, providing an attractive market for investors in sustainable power-supply projects.

Telcoassurance: a new path
Jorge Abril-Martorell, Borja de la Cuesta
Due to fierce competition, stagnating revenues, and decreasing margins, differentiation is more vital than ever for telecommunications operators. To optimally achieve this goal, tapping into the insurance market presents an attractive opportunity: it’s sizable, profitable, and currently immersed in a huge transformation process that telcos can leverage. To fully take advantage of this opportunity, telcos must carefully assess and choose the right model. Arthur D. Little (ADL) has designed such a model (“telcoassurance”) with lessons learned from bancassurance.
