“Europe faces a dark winter as energy supplies run low in the wake of Russia’s war on Ukraine as well as a looming economic recession. With data centres having become a key part of everyday life, the question everyone has in mind is: what can we expect? With the data centre marketplace treading towards a somewhat unknown territory, Mark Cooper, vice president of edge strategy speaks to The Tech Capital live at infra/Structure 2022 in Toronto on the ever-changing landscape. Beyond the challenges of geopolitics and the current situation on the European continent, Cooper also explores the trends that are increasing the demand for Edge Computing investment and what the ‘next frontiers’ for Edge data centre development are. The executive also gives an update on AtlasEdge’s digital infrastructure rollout and what the next phases of expansion will look like.”
