On this episode, Chris and Mark chat with Sean Emam (Principal GPM for all datacenters) and Jon Farmer (our lead datacenter PMM). We highlight news about the recent opening of a new datacenter in Qatar, and the value of operating Microsoft datacenters at scale across various product groups, partners, and ultimately out to customer. You’ll hear more about the history and design behind our go local efforts, choosing locations, and the focus on sustainability across all datacenters to enable great business impact, with clean energy and sustainable practices intact at every turn.
