In 2023, Tad Davies celebrates his 35th year in the Data Center industry. In reflecting on his experience, Tad stated, “It has been so exciting and such a privilege to be in an industry that has and continues to have a significant impact on the economy and more recently our daily lives. Also fascinating have been cycles that have occurred, with each innovating over the previous. I think about water-cooled mainframes in the 1980’s and liquid-cooling technology today. Or again in the ‘80s with the centralization of computing due to mainframes, then decentralization with server proliferation, and now to centralization in the cloud.”
“An aspect I find most fascinating is how smaller businesses have become empowered to compete with those that are significantly larger due to progress in technology and applications. This further accelerates innovation. I am looking forward to what the next few decades bring!”
