The Future of Data Centers: Clemar's Insights at the Legrand event

Digital transformation has no pause button. With the rapid evolution of emerging technologies, the physical infrastructure that supports global data processing must reinvent itself at the same speed. To discuss these challenges, understand market pain points, and map the solutions that will guide our sector, Clemar Engenharia participated on June 10th in a strategic event promoted by Legrand - Data Center Solutions.

The most anticipated moment of the meeting was the roundtable that brought together major leadership figures from the technology and infrastructure market. Our Critical Mission Vertical Manager, Silvio Longen, was on stage alongside Daniel Tatine (CEO of Legrand), Fabio Cierro (CEO of Parks S/A), and Eduardo de Melo (Latam Director of Green4T). Clemar's MCR commercial and technical team was also present, represented by Ednei Piva, Pedro Torres, and Caio Rutkoski. From this top-level exchange, our team mapped the most urgent trends that are already dictating the direction of new Data Center projects:

Artificial Intelligence and the density challenge: There is no way to talk about the future without talking about Artificial Intelligence. The market understands that AI is a direct synonym for high processing density. The infrastructure built today must already be dimensioned to support tomorrow's load. In practice, this requires projects focused on modularity and robust innovations in high-density cooling.

Energy, the new major bottleneck: With more processing comes the inevitable energy demand. Energy consumption has become the Achilles' heel of IT operations. The debate made it clear that efficiency, resilience, and real-time monitoring—with the massive application of smart PDUs (Power Distribution Units)—will be the decisive factors in optimizing a Data Center's Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Integration and Edge Computing as competitive differentiators: Mitigating risks and accelerating implementation time are priorities for any Critical Mission client. The strategy that has proven most secure is the adoption of the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) project model aligned with end-to-end integration, encompassing rack, power, and cabling solutions in a single ecosystem. Furthermore, data decentralization to reduce latency strongly drives the adoption of Modular Data Centers, the ideal structure to support Edge Computing operations.

Participar in forums like this reinforces Clemar's commitment to not only executing but also thinking about the engineering of the future. We extend our thanks to Legrand for the invitation, to Parks and Green4T for the valuable debates, and to everyone who visited us at the event's workshops. We will continue investing in continuous updating to ensure that our clients' critical operations are always built on a foundation of excellence and high availability.
