Episode 002 - I3C Protocol and the Rise of Data Centers

What this episode covers

Picture an average night at home. You’re sitting on the couch, remote in hand, maybe with a beverage by your side. You use your remote to navigate through the menu of your favorite streaming platform to select an episode of your favorite TV show. You pause to give a command to your smart speaker to shut off the music you were playing before sitting down. As you watch the show, you recognize an actor you like, but you can’t remember where from, so you grab your mobile phone and run a search in your internet browser. Satisfied with the answer, you speak into your smart watch to set a reminder for later to watch a different show starring the same actor. All the while you are lounging with your feet up and feeling quite relaxed; never thinking about the bank of server blades in a data center far away working tirelessly to power the cloud that brings this convenience to the palm of your hand. Our lives are increasingly dependent on the cloud and whether we realize it or not, those data centers are growing and using an amazing amount of energy.   How could Microchip Technology help address the growing need for Data Centers in a sustainable way without compromising our new standard of life?   Links from the episode: I3C® | Microchip Technology  https://www.mipi.org/knowledge-library/webinars/mipi-i3c-week-exploring-world-of-i3c   Guests: Ashish Makthal  Max Prasad
