· Outdated data centres: extending life vs. selling/scraping it
· Switching data centre providers
· Maximising data centre current use
· When you need state-of-the art can it pay to retrofit?
· Refreshing hardware vs. moving to the cloud
· Comparing lead times
· When don’t containers make sense?
· PUE considerations
