The ENGINEER 2024 Convention, a flagship event organised by the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) in collaboration with C.I.S, promises to be a pivotal moment for the Malaysian engineering landscape. Aimed at showcasing the latest in mechanical & electrical (M&E), civil & structural (C&S), and air-conditioning, mechanical ventilation & refrigeration (ACMV&R) engineering technologies, this annual event serves as a nexus for industry professionals, leading manufacturers and suppliers, government delegations, trade associations, business chambers, international investors, and academicians from across the globe.
Malaysia is rapidly positioning itself as an Asian Digital Tiger, with aspirations of becoming a global hub for data centres. With this in mind, ENGINEER 2024 offers attendees an exceptional opportunity to witness the future of data centre management infrastructure firsthand. The event is more than just a platform for networking and collaboration; it represents the cutting edge of data centre solutions, hosting 19 leading expert solution providers from around the world.
A Live Showcase of Cutting-Edge Technologies in Modern Data Centres
The live showcase at ENGINEER 2024 will focus on world-class data centre infrastructure, featuring advanced solutions that directly address the challenges faced by modern data centre operators. From efficiency to sustainability, the innovations on display are designed to optimise performance while enhancing reliability – an essential goal for an industry that underpins nearly every digital interaction today.
Data centres are notorious for their high energy consumption, and cooling is one of the key areas where improvements can make a significant impact. The event presents state-of-the-art cooling solutions that maintain optimal operating conditions, crucial not just for performance but for sustainability as well. By keeping temperatures in check, these systems help data centres minimise energy consumption, an increasingly important consideration in today’s world of rising energy costs and sustainability concerns.
Another focal point is the advanced data centre containment system. This technology ensures the separation of cold supply airflow from the hot exhaust air generated by information technology (IT) equipment. By preventing the mixing of these two air streams, operators can maintain more precise temperature control, leading to enhanced energy efficiency and cost savings.
The showcase also highlights critical power management solutions. Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system is featured, ensuring that data centres maintain uptime and continue functioning even during power outages. This redundancy in design is essential for modern data centres, where even a few minutes of downtime can have significant financial and operational consequences.
Further, a raised-floor system with effective bonding and earthing ensures both safety and operational efficiency, while active and passive fire-fighting systems offer top-notch protection for data centres. These systems are designed to respond quickly and effectively to any fire hazards, safeguarding valuable equipment and minimising potential damage.
