OpenUK seminar : open source tech and sustainability for data centres
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes33 views
This document discusses the relationship between circular economy practices and open source technologies. It argues that open source technologies have become good enough in the last decade to support circular design approaches. Examples provided include how the Open Compute Project (OCP) uses open source designs and principles of modularity and disaggregation to dramatically reduce materials usage in data centers through approaches like tool-less server assembly. The document advocates that open source technologies and collaborative design can help achieve greater levels of reuse and recycling in line with circular economy goals.

- 37. Myopic Culture in Data Centre Supply Channel? “The Myopic cultures, Levitt postulated, would pave the way for a business to fall, due to the short-sighted mindset and illusion that a firm is in a so-called 'growth industry’. This belief leads to complacency and a loss of sight of what customers want. It is said that these people focus more on the original product and refuse to adapt directly to the needs and wants of the consumer.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_myopia
