The expert was speaking following leaked government plans showing that it intends to consolidate its data centres into a small number of more efficient ones, in a bid to save up to £300 million per annum.
'There's been a shift. Companies are recognising that. In terms of different facilities which you make, monitor and manage, potentially you'll focus investment in power usage effectiveness. The metric is constrained by your location. You must work within it,' Mr Singh explained.
