The data centre sector in the UK and Ireland is experiencing its most rapid period of expansion to date.
Backed by government ambitions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and a wave of private investment, the UK alone already hosts close to three Gigawatts of capacity across almost 250 facilities. Analysts are predicting that spending on data centres could rise to as much as £10 billion a year by 2029.
But getting facilities built is only part of the story.
A new white paper from RS in partnership with The DCA - Data Centre Alliance – Trade Association to the Data Centre sector, that features original research and expert commentary, turns the spotlight on what happens once a data centre goes live, and the importance of an effective Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) strategy in protecting uptime.
The white paper includes:
- Original research from 74 data centre professionals across the UK and Ireland
- Analysis from experts from The DCA, techUK, and the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS)
- Commentary from RS's own industry specialists
