Building Digital Infrastructure Through Collaboration w/Dean Nelson
In this episode of the OCP podcast, we interviewed Dean Nelson, Founder of iMasons & CEO at Cato Digital. We discussed the collaboration between OCP and iMasons on sustainability, focusing on the iMasons State of the Industry Report and the iMasons Climate Accord to accelerate decarbonization in digital infrastructure. Dean emphasized simplifying processes for sustainability, standardizing carbon impact measurement, and his commitment to sustainability at Cato Digital through equipment repurposing. We explored challenges in the tech industry, such as stranded capacity and the balance between power consumption and environmental impact. Collaborative efforts like Open Compute and iMasons are essential for driving positive change in sustainable infrastructure development.Chapters0:00 Introduction6:50 Europe's Leadership in Regulation9:38 Impact of Regulations on Industry10:48 Formation of iMasons and OCP Strategic Alliance12:30 iMasons' Four Strategic Initiatives13:41 iMasons Climate Accord Formation17:01 Alignment of iMasons and OCP Objectives22:53 Collaboration on Carbon Disclosure and Labeling27:40 Dean's Role at Cato Digital31:47 Predicted Growth in Data Center Capacity57:54 Building a Balanced Ecosystem1:02:02 Diverse Community Insights1:05:47 Optimizing for 3X GrowthVisit https://www.opencompute.org/ to learn more.Join our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/opencompute/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/OpenComputePrjJoin our LinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4152886/Follow our Linkedin Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/4284419/
