Cloud Realities

There is a scary contradiction in the increased power consumption of the latest technical innovations, and the impact the increased power consumption will have on society and the planet.

This week Dave and Rob talk to Michael Carbb SVP of Commercial at Last Energy about huge growth in power consumption due to electrification, power perhaps becoming the new constraint, modular nuclear power, perceived danger vs. real danger of nuclear, do we have any alternatives and how long it takes to get modular power to a data centre.

TLDR:
03:00: Hyper personalization of communication
06:25: Cloud conversation with Michael Crabb
34:00: Hyperscale data centers and sustainability
52:35:  Waiting for the baby!
