Data Centres: What Can You Expect?

For over 20 years, Datacloud Global Congress has been the industry’s go‑to event for data‑center deal‑making, strategic partnerships, and high‑level collaboration. It’s where data centre operators come together to raise capital, build partnerships, and seal the deal.


 

The Data Centre Advantage at Datacloud Global Congress

For data centre operators, Datacloud Global Congress provides a focused platform to secure capital, customers, and long‑term partnerships at scale. As demand accelerates, driven by AI, cloud, and capacity constraints, the event offers direct access to investors, hyperscalers, and enterprise buyers actively looking to deploy capital and infrastructure.

At the same time, operators are surrounded by the wider ecosystem they rely on, from technology and power partners to policymakers shaping future development. By combining investment access with critical commercial relationships, Datacloud Global Congress creates the environment operators need to strengthen their position and drive sustained global growth.

    With rising rack densities, air cooling alone is no longer sufficient, making Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) a critical enabler for the future of data center operations. But while much attention is given to chips and servers, the piping infrastructure behind DLC is just as vital.

    In this session, Mark Bulmer explores how the choice of polymer piping material directly impacts flow performance, coolant purity, reliability, and sustainability. Discover key material considerations for building a successful system and how the right choices can help avoid common pitfalls, shaping more reliable and sustainable high-performance data centers.
