Polar DC’ s DRA01 data centre in Tordal, Norway
The AI race still hasn’ t slowed, with the technology continuing to put pressures on data centres. Operators are having to grapple with unprecedented demand for power density and cooling solutions, all while fighting to keep emissions down.
With this in mind, traditional aircooled facilities are struggling to meet the needs of GPU-intensive workloads consuming up to 600kW per rack. Legacy infrastructure is being overhauled across the industry, with calls for more purpose-built infrastructure becoming essential.
Tom Chubb, COO of Polar DC, shares with Data Centre Magazine how Polar
DC is addressing these challenges by developing liquid-cooled data centres specifically engineered for AI workloads.
The company’ s strategy places emphasis on data centres that are flexible and sustainable and can also accelerate time-to-market.
