Yesterday we hosted an internal workshop aimed at addressing a pressing issue faced by some of the most vulnerable in our society: poor indoor air quality. The workshop sought to mitigate this issue by hand-making energy-efficient mini air purifiers for those in need. This initiative is part of a broader effort by Global Switch to address climate adaptation challenges and enhance living conditions for underserved communities. Our team had a great time building the air purifiers, which will now be distributed to beneficiaries, including the elderly living alone and low-income families, through partnerships with NGOs such as Caritas Hong Kong. This event underscores the potential for targeted, practical solutions to improve the quality of life for those in high-density urban environments, as well as Global Switch’s ongoing dedication to social responsibility and team strength. #UrbanAirQuality #EnergyEfficiency #CorporateSocialResponsibility #Sustainability

Our APAC Engineering Manager, Foong Kheng Nge, will be sharing her expert insights in a panel discussion on the topic of maximising uptime through digital transformation at the upcoming Data Centre World Asia event. As the backbone of modern business, data centres require seamless, uninterrupted operations. However, traditional maintenance strategies are no longer enough to meet the demands of the digital age. Foong Kheng will be delving into how advanced digital solutions are revolutionising the way Global Switch manages infrastructure, ensuring reliability, efficiency and flexibility for its customers.

We are pleased to be supporting this year’s Singapore Network Operators Group (#SGNOG) event by sponsoring a coffee cart for attendees.  As professionals from across the network operations field gather for a day of discourse and knowledge exchange, we recognise the value of a well-deserved coffee break. The cart will serve as a meeting place for conversation and connection, providing a moment of respite amidst the event's busy schedule.  We look forward to seeing you at #SGNOG11!

AI’s sustainability problem - what’s the outlook? Yesterday I joined a panel at DatacenterDynamics in London representing Global Switch. 📣 First of all, Paris agreement and net zero to 2050 is not going away. How we reach there with macro challenges around us and not knowing what tomorrow brings - that we don’t fully know yet. 🧩 Second, we all need to play our part. As a data centre provider we can make sure we build an intelligent infrastructure that can prepare for the liquid cooling required, flexibility to adapt for today and tomorrow and always aiming to find and collaborate for the latest innovation. This will position us to ensure the highest efficiency possible for our customers’ digitalisation and journey of scaling AI, both in new and existing buildings. And we have to be better and talk about all the opportunities that digitalisation and AI can bring to serve us with insights for improvements. 💡Third, the UK government’s decision last week to announce data centres as a critical infrastructure will hopefully bring awareness to the service that data centres bring. Ensuring access to energy - and more renewable one - will create an environment where the industry, the businesses and all people around it will benefit from. 🌱 We’re not perfect but our ESG ambitions are high as with most of the businesses in the industry. And the exponential increase in reporting requirements (we need to find the balance between reporting so we have time to make all the valuable changes) will certainly keep it transparent to show if we are on track 👀 📸 Thank you Anna Carolina Dowson for the photo! #sustainability #artificialintelligence #DCDConnect #datacentres
