Finning to lead sustainability talk at DataCentres Ireland

Finning UK & Ireland has been set to take centre stage at DataCentres Ireland and lead discussions on the complex path to sustainable power sources.  As well as exhibiting at the event, which takes place on 22 and 23 November at the Royal Dublin Society headquarters in the city, Graham Scandrett, Head of Projects Sales, Ireland, at Finning, dealer of Cat equipment and parts, will be joining other industry experts for a discussion exploring the sustainability roadmap for data centres.  A key focus of the company’s stand will be sharing its expertise in how the industry can best navigate the complex path to sustainable power sources. Graham Scandrett joins the expert panel on the second day for a session titled ‘The Sustainability Roadmap for Data Centres’, which will discuss key sustainability milestones, their impact on data centre infrastructure and future prospects beyond 2050. With 22 years’ experience in the electric power industry, Graham brings a critical perspective having worked with many major data centre operators. “The data centre sector is currently navigating a crucial phase, aiming to balance escalating energy costs with the necessity for sustainable and reliable power solutions,” says Graham. “This is evidenced by the shift towards renewable energy, with data centres increasingly investing in lower carbon intensive energy sources. This transition not only mitigates environmental impacts, but also fortifies energy resilience. “As part of the panel session, we will focus on the sustainable future of data centres, exploring the potential and challenges of microgrids and their integration within data centres. Additionally, we'll examine solutions that align with existing infrastructure investments, like leveraging waste heat for district heating schemes, to demonstrate how these approaches can complement current technologies. I’ll also be exploring how Finning can support the sector to implement innovative energy solutions with our diverse range of Cat products, including highly efficient generator sets and innovative hybrid energy solutions.” The Finning team, including Kelly Cole, General Manager for Electric Power at Finning UK & Ireland, will be on hand throughout the event at stand 522 to offer expert support to data centre and facility managers. Kelly says, “Finning plays a crucial role in supporting data centres in Ireland and the UK, guaranteeing uptime commitments through its array of Cat diesel and gas generator sets, tailored for diverse power requirements. We go far beyond just equipment supply, offering extensive experience and expertise to support customers in the transition to sustainable fuels such as HVO, biodiesel and blends, and ensuring service extends to operational efficiency and peace of mind throughout the lifespan of power solutions.” Attendees are invited to visit the event and watch the panel discussion, taking place in the Strategy Stream, Room 1 (13:45-14:30 on 23 November). They are also encouraged to visit stand 522 to discuss the innovative solutions from Finning and explore support for the sustainable transformation of data centres.

‘No excuses - try harder’: Martha Lane Fox at DTX + UCX Europe

Baroness Martha Lane Fox has launched a rallying cry for the tech world to invest in diversity as organisations have “no excuses” not to improve representation in the sector.  Speaking from the main stage at DTX + UCX 2023, the Lastminute.com founder headlined a show lineup, including ITV journalist, Sameena Ali Khan; Meta Group's Director, Sophie Neary; and ‘People Hacker’, Jenny Radcliffe. They issued a challenge to other firms to “do the work” on diversity.  Martha says that despite the availability of 30,000 female software developers in the tech space, statistics show the sector will never achieve parity at current rates of growth.  Of course, the diversity conversation must go beyond only focusing on gender diversity. “10 million adults still don’t use tech effectively or at all - and that’s directly related to socio-economic groups,” she states. Martha says the industry needs leaders who are intentful and focused on diversity and environmental matters for true change, and that the opportunity ahead is great.  The subsequent panel titled, "Twist and Shout", discusses the importance of a diverse talent pool with Meta's Sophie Neary emphasising that organisations 'always have a choice'.  On the same panel, PwC’s Cloud and Digital Lead, Warren Tucker, points out that 40% of business owners didn’t believe their current model would be fit for purpose a few years down the line, and that rapid change across the sector is inevitable.  Adaptation for the new realm will extend to cyber security and ethics, it was revealed across the event’s dedicated cyber security theatres, with speakers in cyber war and cyber resilience sessions urging firms to enhance their defence systems to combat advanced cyberthreats whilst focusing on the responsible use of AI.  Renowned Social Engineer, Jenny Radcliffe, adds, “I’m yet to see AI replicate what a human social engineer can do - not that AI isn’t as brilliant as it is terrifying. But people are the most unpredictable entity you will ever come across. Feeding off experiential learning from a machine is never going to be as intuitive as a human.”  Meanwhile, Kelsey Hightower, former distinguished engineer at Google expresses the need to make open source software sustainable for the long term and less dependent on enterprise needs.  He comments, “You can rub AI on a can opener at the moment and you would get funding. If you are asking if AI is going to take your job, what is your job?  “My mantra: Make influence key, be authentic, and share the credit.”  Across 18 stages, including case studies, panel debates and peer-to-peer roundtables, the event also served as a stage for sector achievements. Firms marked the event with the kinds of landmark announcements and product launches that mirrored the fast pace of change and exciting developments that visitors heard from the headline speakers.  DTX + UCX Europe 2023, Content Director, Dominie Roberts, says, “Bringing the best tech talent under one roof is what we do - and this year we have strived to improve the richness and diversity of our programmes which we are very proud of.  “Businesses are trying to keep their culture, infrastructure and operational design up to speed with the fast pace of tech change - and it is through events like these that tech teams learn how to navigate the latest tools and adopt the kinds of scalable, sustainable and inclusive strategies that will ultimately ensure their success as we enter the next realm.” Speaker, Jon Arnold, summarises, “Occasions like this, where we can all come together to talk about the future, are important. We need events like this.” DTX + UCX Europe 2023 continues with a full lineup on Thursday, 5 October, at the London ExCeL. More information is available online here.

Dominie Roberts, Programme Lead for the show, notes the increase since last year, “These are women managing huge digital change and DTX challenges in their companies, keen to share progress and learn from each other. We are delighted to have them on board.” End user brands in general are increasingly visible at the show, embracing the opportunities to attend the event, talk to vendor experts on latest technology breakthroughs and sense check decision-making.

International Cyber Expo celebrates women in cyber security

To celebrate and connect cyber security’s remarkable women and their allies, Nineteen Group, organiser of International Cyber Expo, has launched ‘Grab the Mic: Women in Cyber’. The brand-new event, held within the wider exhibition, is produced and hosted by Eleanor Dallaway, Founder of Assured Intelligence and former Editor of Infosecurity Magazine. Kicking off the event will be a keynote entitled, ‘It Takes Two to Tango (If You Want to Tango Exceptionally Well)’, delivered by a female-male duo, a novel approach at a diversity event. The keynote will serve to reinforce the reality that we are stronger together, especially when on equal terms. This will then be followed by a panel discussion on ‘How to Land The Job of Your Dreams’, moderated by Eleanor. Despite the longstanding cyber security skills gap, many still struggle to land their perfect job in the sector. The panel discussion will investigate this disconnect, and invite individuals from various backgrounds to offer their perspectives. This includes a cyber security recruiter, a hiring manager, a senior industry professional that has made it to the boardroom, and a newcomer to the sector. Audience members will also have a chance to ask the panellists questions and seek advice on landing the job of their dreams. “I am over the moon to have the opportunity to bring another 'women in cyber' event to the sector, this time with International Cyber Expo as its home. I am as passionate today as I’ve ever been about improving inclusion in our industry, and nothing motivates me more than a room full of people who share that mission,” says Eleanor. “I’ve designed this event with the attendee at the heart and soul of it. I’ve spoken to people who have expressed a desire for greater opportunity to network at these events, so we’ve made that a core focus. We’ve built in enough time to schmooze, make friends and seek new job opportunities, for those looking. I’ve also been told that attendees want a guarantee that they’ll be granted access. So, I’ve worked with Rachael at Nineteen Group to ensure we have an event space big enough to welcome every single person who registers – without fail.” “We’ve been listening to what the cyber security community wants, and many of the women in the sector want the chance to be heard. This is why we’re delivering an inspiring and educational networking event for women and their allies in the industry,” says Rachael Shattock, Group Event Director at Nineteen Group. “We are so pleased to have Eleanor Dallaway on board to help us bring this new event to life at International Cyber Expo 2023. With almost two decades of experience as a tech journalist, and having founded women in cyber security networking events in her time as editor of Infosecurity Magazine, she brings a wealth of insight and contacts that will no doubt make this event a huge success. Not to mention, she is a formidable industry role model in her own right.” The event will be held on the Gallery Level at London Olympia on Tuesday, 26 September from 14:00 - 16:30 BST. Attendees can register online.
