Summary
With the rise of artificial intelligence and the cloud computing boom, it's hard to think of an industry that is growing faster than the data center industry. In response, FM has been researching how to help protect and insure data center infrastructure--along with everything that goes with it, like power generation. On this episode of Sound Policy, we spoke to two experts to learn more about how to build a better data center. Adrian Oxley is staff vice president, senior engineering technical specialist at FM. Paul Heisel is high-hazard occupancy specialist at FM. Both work with FM Intellium, a new business unit at FM. More information on FM Intellium can be found here . Sound Policy also explored lithium-ion battery risks—increasingly relevant to data centers—in our first episode .
