About the Committee

The Data Centre & Data Centre Interconnection Committee is the FTTH Council Europe's newest committee, established to reflect the Council's expanded remit across data centres and the fibre infrastructure that connects them.

The Committee's current work programme includes a report on hollow core fibre (HCF) and multi-core fibre (MCF), a DCI market study developed with the Board, and updates to the Market Panorama to capture the Council's broader scope. Alongside this, the Committee is developing a programme of educational webinars for members on AI-driven data centres, covering the underlying drivers and market trends, internal data centre architectures and wider interconnection architectures.

The Committee also leads the data centre and interconnection content at the annual FTTH Conference, shaping several hours of programming across the full breadth of the Council's expanded remit. 
Further outputs will follow, including new assets, market studies and content developed for the upcoming FTTH Conference. Click here and join us!

"Dutch project gets funding to reduce data center energy consumption and CO2 emissions" , by Eurofiber

A consortium of seven Dutch companies and research institutes will receive funding from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate after the European Commission gave the green light to the IPCEI-CIS program on December 5th of this year. This stands for Important Project of Common European Interest - Cloud Infrastructure and Services. The consortium will receive the funding for the Modular Integrated Sustainable Datacenter project (MISD). Participants in the consortium are Eurofiber, Asperitas, BetterBe, Deerns, NBIP (National Internet Providers Management Organization), TNO and University of Twente. The Dutch government is allocating €70 million for MISD and other Dutch IPCEI-CIS projects. In total, IPCEI-CIS will provide €1.2 billion in funding to a variety of initiatives to drive the development of a European cloud infrastructure.  Read more on Eurofiber’s webpage.
