Irish data-center talent across the world is a 'second success story'

Описание: A global Irish diaspora of digital-infrastructure expertise is a "second success story" as a result of the country's rise as a data center hub, says Christopher Brown, a Partner at KPMG Ireland.

"The Irish supply chain is now disproportionately successful across Europe," Brown tells Cool Vector.

Garry Connolly, Founder of Digital Infrastructure Ireland, adds: "We're averaging about EURO 2 billion in either retrofit or capital spend on centers in Ireland. Ten times that has exported from the country, either in skills, services, commissioning or productization."

A politically driven slowdown in Irish data center development has sent underutilized talent to data center projects around the world, Connolly and Brown tell Cool Vector.

Brown and Connolly share their insights in the Cool Vector episode, "Constrained by Grid and Politics, Ireland Looks for a New Era of Data Center Growth," along with  Gary Watson, Country Manager and Director, Keppel DC REIT in Ireland, and Eugene Finn, Managing Director at CAPCON, a Dublin-based engineering company that builds water infrastructure around the world.
