Data centre IT is evolving faster than ever with GPU generations now turning over every 12-18 months. But does new always mean necessary? This fireside chat challenges the assumption that rapid innovation equals rapid obsolescence. We'll explore how organisations can make smarter decisions about when to replace, re-purpose, or extend the life of IT assets, drawing on lifecycle intelligence rather than vendor refresh cycles. Expect practical discussion on why 'obsolete for AI training' doesn't mean 'obsolete'; the sustainability case for life extension; closing the asset intelligence gap between facilities and IT teams; and how circular supply chains can build resilience against single-source dependencies. Leave with a framework for thinking differently about the assets already in your data centre.”
