Libraries have long been pillars of knowledge, community,and accessibility, but as the world shifts toward digital media and instant information, their role is evolving. In this episode, Reimagining Libraries, Director of Advocacy Sean McKenzie sits down with Jason Barnhardt and Malcolm Eaton from Praxis Consulting, along with Jeff Barber from the Regina Public Library, to explore the enduring value of libraries in today's society, both in larger cities and smaller communities.Both Jason and Malcolm were key players in a study SUMArecently hired Praxis Consulting to conduct into the provincial library system, and to make recommendations on what could be improved. Jeff has been the Library Director and CEO of the Regina Public Library since 2005 and has also worked within the Southeast regional library in Weyburn, been head of Access Services in the University of Saskatchewan, and is a past president of the Saskatchewan Library Association, as well as past Chair of the Canadian Urban Libraries Council.From ebooks to streaming services, technology has reshapedhow we access information, yet libraries continue to offer something irreplaceable. However, they are not without challenges. Funding remains an ongoing concern, and the demands on these institutions are increasing. What needs to change to ensure their future? This episode examines the essential services they provide, the unique structure of Saskatchewan's one-card system, and how regional collaboration ensures that resources remain available to as many people as possible.

In the latest episode of Nomad Futurist, hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence welcome Jeff Barber, the Vice President of Global Data Centers for Bloom Energy. In his role, he is dedicated to empowering data center developers, tenants, and operators to take control of all their data center power requirements with greener, more reliable, more resilient, and more predictable onsite power via fuel cells from Bloom Energy.Barber joined from Roseville, California, home to the ​100-megawatt Bloom Tower. Bloom has been around for a little over a decade and went public in 2018. Bloom has always dabbled in data centers, but a year ago, they decided to shift their focus to prioritize this industry solely. To this end, they hired Barber to build out a team of data center experts. Barber reflects:“It was a very interesting role because I was feeling the power crunch myself. We were not able to secure power in many, many places across the nation. [That] was about 18 months ago now, and it's only gotten worse.”Through the episode, Barber provides insights from his background across all data center industry verticals, including operations to sales to strategy and go-to-market and marketing, and everything in between. Barber says that his IT experience has by far been the most valuable for his current position:“If you understand what the workload is, [you understand what is needed]. Is your tenant a social media company, or are they relational databases using an Oracle back end, maybe with an SAP? You can understand where they need to go. Where should they build? Where should they lease? You can also understand where data centers are going [with AI workloads.] Will they be much more modular? Will they just go to where the power is cheap and available? It's going to make up a significant portion of the market.”When looking to the future, Barber thinks on-site power generation will become paramount. With companies like AWS investing in nuclear power, he believes there will be a trend toward this driven by developers not wishing to be tied to utility providers, where companies are seeing pushback to committed power. He expands:“I think we've reached the tipping point, or I know we have, where the developers are no longer relying on the utility. They're planning on them to not show up. And so that's good for on-site generation. It's the paradigm shift.”He says this does come with its own complications, mainly being that utilities are a Government-regulated industry in most cases. This can be a problem when trying to develop on-site power in certain areas like California and Virginia in particular. He also said there is the potential for the federal government to establish regulations down the line. But, he says there is hope:“It's something that Bloom has been navigating for over a decade, and there's a positive side. If you look at the Inflation Reduction Act and ITC tax credits in the case of Bloom, that's a 40 percent increase rebate to the developer because we're manufactured in the U.S. So, it's 30 percent plus 10 percent domestic content in some areas in the U.S. It's up to 50%. These [energy zones] are areas that have been impacted by the reduction in coal or other generation sources. So that's where the federal government is absolutely helping us tremendously.”Barber dives into the future of energy requirements for data center developers and operators, using his expansive background to explain the past of the industry and look forward.

The phrase “energy crisis” has been tossed around frequently the past few years, and not without reason: as demand for fossil fuels skyrockets, climate change speeds up too. So while the U.S. puts legislation into place to help mitigate the climate crisis, there's another problem in the process - our energy grid might not be able to keep up with these environmentally friendly power alternatives. What happens now?  On the latest episode of Not Your Father's Data Center Podcast, CRO and host Raymond Hawkins chats with the Vice President of Global Data Center Sales with Bloom Energy, Jeff Barber, about the energy crisis, ESG, and Bloom Energy.   The two discuss:  Why reducing your carbon footprint now adds time-value  How Bloom Energy offers an alternative that lasts into the future  What Bloom Energy is, how it generates power, and what their power-purchase agreement looks like  “So, Bloom energy is solid-oxide fuel cells that are on-site, at your facility, in a micro-grid form. So this is power-generation at your facility, without the centralized grid, with the centralized grid…Bloom is intended to create energy for the facility, to be the primary energy to that facility, 24/7 365,” explained Barber, noting that these are not batteries.  A California native, Barber has collected over 25 years of experience in the energy, sales, and data center industries. Though he first started working on network troubleshooting through the G-Tech Corporation as a Network Support and DEC VAX System Administrator, Barber has since held leadership positions at a number of globally recognized brands, including Hewlett-Packard, the EMC Corporation, and Oracle.  Prior to joining Bloom, Barber was a Partner & EVP Sales and Business Development leader for Prime Data Centers. He is a graduate of California State University at Sacramento, with a BS in Business Administration.  

Jeff Barber, VP of Global Data Centers at Bloom Energy, tackles the topic of transforming the way data centers power their facilities and how Bloom Energy offers a more reliable, sustainable and predictable power solution.Tune in now to learn why Bloom's solution has been deployed by the likes of Nxtra, Teledata, CenturyLink, Equinix, and, most recently, AWS

Episode 83: Infrastructure Considerations for Disaster Recovery What infrastructure do companies need to make sure their precious data doesn't vanish into thin air? That's the topic of this week's episode, in which Vanessa interviews data security expert Jeff Barber, partner and executive vice president for sales and business development for Prime Data Centers. Vanessa and Jeff chat about what organizations need to think about in terms of data centers and other infrastructure to make sure their data remains secure. Jeff points out that the considerations for citing data centers can be divided into two buckets—physical/infrastructure and data/virtual—and shares the key considerations for each one. This episode will teach you: • Why companies should divide their data into three categories: mission-critical, business-critical, and noncritical. • Why a backup data center should be approximately 50 miles away from your main data center and in a different biosphere. • Why it's important to have good transportation links between the main data center and the backup data center. • How placing a backup data center too far from the main data center can create too much latency. • What the biggest trend in data storage and backup is likely to be in 2022 (hint: its initials are DRaaS). Finally, Jeff explains why Sacramento is a good Goldilocks location—not too near, not too far, and out of the earthquake zone—to serve as a location for backup data centers for firms in Silicon Valley.

Office Director, sits down with Jeff Barber, Firmwide Design Experience Leader at Gensler, Oliver Carr, CEO of Carr Properties, and Austen Holderness, Chief Development Officer at Carr Properties, to discuss one of D.C.’s most exciting projects in the Union Market neighborhood — Signal House.

Jeff was joined by Bryce Coryell and attorney Jeff Barber. They discuss a lawsuit against Alaska Waste after a garbage truck slammed into (well through) his business in 2016. The garbage company didn't think they were liable. Bryce and his business partner spent a year trying to recover money from Waste Connections. Eventually they hired Anchorage attorney Jeff Barber to sue Alaska Waste. What ensued is an incredible story.

I’m talking with Jeff Barber of Biohazard Games about his current Kickstarter Upwind. Imagine Bakshi’s classic animated film Wizards has a head-on collision with Disney’s Treasure Planet and the resulting fire is put out with a whole lot of Studio Ghibli’s Castle in the Sky. That, in an unexpected, animated mash-up, is Upwind. Upwind is a narrative style RPG set in a strange alternate world of floating island nations, flying sailing ships, long-lost technology, wild elemental powers, looming war and forgotten legacies. Upwind is powered by the Q system, an original stakes-based, playing card-driven mechanic that gives every encounter consequences with meaningful, narrative-building outcomes. With its unique bidding rules, Upwind plays as fast as you can tell your story. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1875712273/upwind-rpg-treasure-planet-meets-studio-ghibli http://www.biohazardgamespublishing.com/upwind/ http://www.nocturnal-media.com/blog/2016/9/14/new-partnership-bears-fruit-in-upwind-rpg https://twitter.com/BiohazardJeff https://www.facebook.com/BiohazardGamesPublishing Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/

Last week we had the chance to play Upwind, a new game from Jeff Barber and Biohazard Games. This game is a "fable of lost science, elemental magic, and uncharted skies" that uses an inventive card mechanic in an original setting. Aser and I really loved the way the mechanics played out and can't wait to see this game launch on Kickstarter on October 11! You can find Jeff and Upwind at the Biohazard Website or on Twitter.
