Just a small reminder of the scale and organisation required to help us defeat what seemed an unbeatable enemy.
For all the emphasis on innovation, Lincoln reiterates that data centres are mission-critical: even minor downtime can be cripplingly expensive for operators.This means that adopting new methods - be they industrial construction techniques or cooling advancements - demands careful piloting and collaboration.
He stresses that Edged’s approach is built on tested engineering principles, explaining:.‘Everyone is on a learning curve… The workloads that exist now were unimaginable only a few years ago, so it’s not about replicating the old formula - it’s about rethinking it.’.By leveraging both in-house expertise and external partnerships, Edged looks to mitigate risks while still pushing the boundaries of efficiency and sustainability..
Looking ahead: The data centre as a driver of change.Data centres are evolving from passive consumers of power to active participants in broader energy ecosystems.
Lincoln views this trend as opening doors to cross-sector collaboration, particularly in areas like distributed power generation and advanced manufacturing.
By championing an industrialised, adaptable, and sustainable model, Edged aims to prove that data centres can be both profitable and environmentally responsible..There may be times when the answer to a problem is not known.
It’s important to acknowledge that, and to trust that working together will lead to the best solution..There are other benefits as well.
Swapping one's normal, corporate working environment for a more interesting design office, liberates thinking and democratises the process.Remote working too creates more equality in status.
