The DCS Awards 2025: Celebrating Excellence in the Data Centre Industry

The 15th edition of the DCS Awards 2025 is back to celebrate the remarkable achievements within the data centre industry. This year's event will recognise customer success stories, technological innovations, and significant contributions from both individuals and companies. 

Categories Reflecting Industry Evolution

The data centre industry has experienced several significant changes reflecting both technological advancements and responses to global trends. There has been a stronger push towards sustainability, with more data centres adopting renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and aiming for carbon neutrality. AI and machine learning are increasingly being integrated into data centre operations to optimise energy usage, improve cooling systems, and enhance predictive maintenance. The growth of IoT and the need for low-latency applications have accelerated the deployment of edge data centres, bringing computational power closer to end-users. There’s a noticeable trend towards hybrid architectures that combine central data centres with edge facilities to enhance performance and reliability. With increasing cyber threats, data centres are adopting more robust security measures, including advanced encryption, AI-driven threat detection, and zero-trust security models.

Despite the above challenges and the ever-evolving customer demands the data centre industry continues to underpin the digital world with its extraordinarily reliable infrastructure technology. The awards categories reflect the industry’s current landscape with a strong emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives.

The DCS Awards sees hundreds of nominations being entered which are then shortlisted for voting, culminating in a gala evening in London. Here, the winners are celebrated in a night filled with dining, entertainment, and networking.

Time to Submit Your Nominations

We are excited to recognise and reward innovation across the data centre industry, whether it be in projects, products, services, or individual and corporate excellence. The awards categories cover both facilities and IT aspects of data centres, reflecting the convergence of these disciplines crucial for digital transformation. This year, there are 34 categories focusing on the achievements of vendors, business partners, staff, and customers.
