2019 Public Vote
Best Mainstream Press Coverage of the Data Center Industry NEW!
Everyone deserves to understand a subject as important as data centers. When the press gets it right, governments will regulate the sector better, and make better economic decision about it, while the public will engage constructively with the facilities they live alongside.
This Year's public vote category will recognize journalists and publications which helped the data center community by delivering useful information about the sector to a broader audience.
