Hyperscale Strategies at Data Centre LIVE: The London Summit

As demand for digital services accelerates at an unprecedented pace, the global data centre industry finds itself in the midst of a new era of expansion.

The scale and complexity of infrastructure required to support modern computing has pushed operators towards hyperscale models.

At Data Centre LIVE: The London Summit, the Hyperscale Strategies panel will unpack how the sector is adapting to meet this surge, and what it means for the future of infrastructure.

Hyperscale has become a defining strategy across the industry, shaping how facilities are designed, built and operated.

As compute density rises and latency expectations shrink, operators are rethinking everything from site selection to power provisioning.

This session will explore how leading players are expanding capacity at speed while maintaining resilience and efficiency, all against a backdrop of supply chain volatility and intensifying regional competition.

The strategic blueprint behind hyperscale growth

In recent years, hyperscale strategy has been all about balancing rapid expansion with long-term sustainability.

The exponential growth of AI and cloud services is placing immense pressure on infrastructure, requiring operators to deploy capacity faster than ever before.

However, growth at this scale is not without its challenges.

Supply chain constraints continue to impact the availability of critical components, from semiconductors to power equipment, forcing operators to rethink procurement strategies and build greater resilience into their ecosystems.

At the same time, regional expansion has become increasingly complex, with varying regulatory environments and land constraints shaping where and how hyperscale campuses are developed.

Energy, in particular, sits at the centre of hyperscale strategy.

As facilities grow larger, operators must secure reliable, sustainable energy sources while meeting ambitious carbon reduction targets.

This has led to closer collaboration with utilities, as well as increased investment in renewable energy and innovative grid solutions. 

Expert perspectives on scaling the future

The Hyperscale Strategies panel brings together senior leaders with deep expertise across infrastructure development and enterprise technology.

Amy Daniell, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Development at STACK Infrastructure, will offer insight into how developers are navigating rapid expansion while aligning with customer demand and sustainability goals.

Joining her is Clive Deakin, Director of Digital Cloud Platform Technology and Architecture at Iron Mountain.

His perspective will focus on the evolving role of cloud platforms and how hyperscale environments are being architected to support complex workloads.

Rounding out the panel is Richard Wilkinson, Chief Technologist – Europe GIS at DXC Technology.

Richard will explore how enterprises can harness hyperscale infrastructure to drive digital transformation while navigating challenges around security and scalability.

Together, the panel will examine the innovations enabling hyperscale facilities to operate more efficiently, from advanced cooling systems to smarter automation and AI-driven optimisation.

They will also address the broader industry themes shaping the next phase of growth, including supply chain resilience and regional diversification.

Join us at Exhibition White City on May 20–21 for Data Centre LIVE: The London Summit, where the industry’s leading voices come together to explore the trends, technologies and strategies shaping the future of digital infrastructure.

Attendees will gain practical insight from industry experts, hear real-world case studies and connect with peers and key decision-makers who are turning heads in the future of data centres.
