London, 4 September 2008 – The forthcoming Power and Cooling for Data Centres – World Forum (London 2-3 October – www.datacentres.com/pac) will host a series of discussions and debates focused on what is being described as “monumental changes” that Data Centres are now undergoing as they confront the process of change imposed by the pressing requirement for energy efficiency and carbon reductions.

The World Forum will bring together experts in the field of power, cooling, Green, environmental, renewable and innovative technologies in a content rich programme that tackles the core challenges confronting data centres now.
