DDSP

Brawn has partnered with the Digital Decarbonization Solutions Platform (DDSP) to address the growing demand for decarbonized data centers in the Asia Pacific region.

 

By leveraging renewable energy sources, we aim to provide hyperscalers with sustainable and efficient data centers that not only meet their operational needs but also align with global net-zero goals.

 

Together, we are paving the way for a more sustainable future in the data center industry.
