In conjunction with TM Forum’s DTW23 - Ignite, which began today at the Bella Center, Copenhagen, The Fast Mode spoke to Therminer, a sustainable energy solution provider and a participant of the event’s Next20 startup program.
What is Therminer looking forward to most at the event? Does Therminer have any exciting activities planned?
At an event like DTW23, Therminer, with its strong focus on sustainability and circular energy solutions, will look forward to the opportunity to showcase its environmentally friendly technologies and initiatives. We embrace one of the main challenges raised by the Next20 startup program, the energy Challenge, which raises the question of how our industry can lead the world towards carbon neutrality and, in doing so, cut our energy consumption by at least 25% by 2025. We’ve simply got the solution: reduce energy consumption and make a circular use of the resources consumed.
The program will also allow us to exhibit and pitch to a jury of experts on a global stage at TM Forum’s DTW23 - Ignite, where all those interested can attend to understand how we are addressing the challenge.
What products/solutions will Therminer be showcasing at DTW23? Can we expect to see any new launches?
Therminer is fostering the energy transition by powering Data Centres with solar energy and using our advanced cooling technology to reduce 95% of the energy consumption while recycling its waste heat with an efficiency of more than 90%. We will showcase our innovative sustainability solutions, made up for the data center industry, including advanced cooling systems and energy recovery technologies to make data center operations sustainable and even carbon-negative.
Our modular and easy-to-deploy solutions are vital to covering the demand and expanding a growing network of data centers specially designed to protect the requirements of cloud edge computing networks.
What are some emerging trends and technologies that you expect will power digital transformation in the telco space in the next year?
Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are rapidly progressing, and the data center sector is under significant pressure to evolve and meet fresh demands. The escalating adoption of AI tools, exemplified by ChatGPT's milestone of surpassing 1 billion users in March 2023, places a particular strain on data centers to accommodate these applications. This, coupled with the surge of the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and other data-intensive applications, means data centers are entrusted with the monumental task of efficiently processing and securely storing enormous volumes of information, all while upholding peak levels of performance and security. And that's why we need to build an infrastructure network to power these technologies using efficient and circular solutions that reduce energy consumption requirements. Therminer focuses on sustainability and aligns with this last trend, as eco-friendly practices and technologies will play a significant role in the digital transformation of the telecommunications industry.
