Globally , the data centre market is set to be worth $ 174bn by 2023 , driven in part by the numerous businesses making the move to cloud storage . This sets a challenge not just for those businesses , but for the construction industry : how will we house the massive volume of data at our

fingertips which is only set to grow ?

We sat down with Joe Goldsmith and

Kevin Dalton of RagingWire Data Centers which connects customers to a global network of more than 140 data centres in 20 markets . They told John O ’ Hanlon all about RagingWire ’ s plans across not only new locations in Silicon Valley but also to develop in emerging markets too .

Elsewhere , we spoke to Nordex about the mammoth task that is harnessing the power of wind , and discussed the growing data centre market further with Aligned Energy – it ’ s vital to think about the impact these powerhouses of tomorrow have on the environment .

We also include insights from SPIE on smart buildings , or as George Adams prefers , ‘ healthy buildings ’, and from Oracle on the digital transformation of the construction industry , plus much more .
