Kao Data, a specialist developer and operator of advanced data centres for high performance computing, cloud, AI and enterprise, has announced it has become a Foundation Partner of Infrastructure Masons (iMasons). The iMasons are a global, non-profit association that unites industry professionals and business leaders who represent over US$150 billion in digital infrastructure projects in over 130 countries.
“I’m delighted to welcome Kao Data as an iMason Foundation Partner,” said Dean Nelson, iMasons Founder and Chairman. “Kao Data is closely aligned with the social investment values of iMasons, including promoting and driving sustainable digital infrastructure.”
Additionally, Paul Finch, Interim CEO and COO, Kao Data, has joined the iMasons Advisory Council, contributing his insight and experience into data centre cooling, energy efficiency and sustainability, which have become an increasingly important focus in the sector over the last decade.
Paul Finch said: “It is a privilege to be appointed to the iMasons Advisory Council. Now, more than ever, our industry provides the foundations that ensure global businesses can continue to operate without interruption. As the world becomes more dependent on connected technologies, demands for digital services will only increase and with them, so will energy usage. Through technical excellence and innovation, our sector must work together and ensure that we design, build and operate data centres with greater energy efficiency, doing our part to minimise the impact of their emissions.”
