Understanding how organizations can better manage cloud and data power consumption with ecological responsibility. Guests: Margaret O’Toole, World Wide Tech Leader – Sustainability, at Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Patrick Fulop, Vice President Cloud Operations at Thales Digital Identity and Security


Cloud technology may be efficient and vital to the global economy, but it comes at a substantial cost in terms of the power to make it run. This will only increase as more sophisticated forms of computing such as AI become normalized. But there are solutions for making this elastic and ubiquitous technology more ecologically responsible, ranging from using innovative cooling techniques through to shared responsibility and even Carbon FinOps. Our guests from AWS and Thales will make it all clear.
