Jonathan Eaves

Jonathan Eaves is a veteran data centre builder and tireless evangelist for the future of the edge. He founded Edge Centres – the world’s first off-grid data centre company – in 2021 and is on track to launch 20 sites across Australia and Asia by 2023. Edge Centres’ prototype site in Grafton is designed so efficiently as to have zero dependence on the local power grid, meeting all its power needs exclusively with onsite solar and creating more energy than it consumes. As a result, EC1 Grafton was named the winning Edge Data Centre Project of the year 2021 by Data Center Dynamics.
