Data Centers are the new factories and data is their widget. Data is, at the heart, of all technology change today. Every generation thinks they invented music – and yet there are only 32 sounds. 16 years ago, Social Media wasn’t a phrase in our lexicon nor was data privacy. We used to think carbon offsetting was good enough and now trillion-dollar companies are declaring they will be carbon free in 20 years, in some cases retroactively.
In the center of this maelstrom of change – is people. Remarkable people, talented people that are using data to change their world, our world. In an era where we decry finding talent, the talent is there – but it’s looking for purpose. On this episode, we welcome Garry Connolly, President and Founder of Host in Ireland. Garry joins David McCall in a thought-provoking discussion about digitization, people, and purpose on The QTS Experience.

3% of the Earth’s produced energy is used by data centers; QTS consumes as much power as the entire country of Belize. In order to be more green, QTS decided to go all in on sustainability. On a mission to convert every QTS data center to 100% renewable power, QTS uses the 3 pillars of sustainability--power, water, waste--as a guide and made monumental changes while setting long term goals to maintain environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) to better local communities and the planet. At the forefront of this endeavor is our guest, Travis Wright.
Travis is the Vice President of Energy and Sustainability at QTS and is facilitating the move to utilizing 100% renewable energy. He explains the obstacles and challenges that arise in and out of the data center as well as the benefits that come with prioritizing sustainability. Being in charge of energy procurement and energy efficiency, Travis’s passion for energy and sustainability is apparent in his work. Spearheading the movement toward the human element of ESG, QTS plans to plant trees, build wells and libraries, sponsor children in need, and more to help build a better future. No company or quarterly goal is more important than the safety of our planet and those that inhabit it. Join industry expert David McCall and Travis Wright as they dive deep into sustainability and energy on this week’s episode of the QTS Experience.

The digital revolution has had a profound impact on our society. Its influence on the arts, business, social interaction, and how we elect our leaders has changed our culture and how business is done. All you need to do is press buttons on a screen to go grocery shopping and have food brought to your door. Digital technologies enable new goto-market approaches and product/service combinations. All you need to do is press buttons on a screen and you can do almost anything, even talk to someone across the planet. We have discovered that there are many ways to communicate with one another. Despite the recent innovations opened up by this digital explosion, there is one method of communication that will never go out of style.
Human beings communicate with stories. Whether on cave walls, in a novel, on vinyl, or on the screen – we connect with each other through our stories. Mark Hofmeyer (Writer, Blogger, Podcaster, Producer) joins me to talk about how the world of movie making and consumption, is being changed by data. What happens when AI starts writing scripts, how is data used to enhance, or manipulate the user experience. These are some of the threads we discuss on The QTS Experience.

Just before the advent of the quarantine, telecom-expert Peter Cohen joined David McCall about "The Edge" and if anything has really changed in the past 5 years.
