TECH & AI
Liquid cooling, once the preserve of experimental HPC labs, is now poised for mainstream deployment as efficient thermal management becomes as crucial as power provision itself.
“ The AI revolution is undoubtedly changing the world, but AI’ s energy footprint may be its most profound and lasting impact,” notes JLL.“ New PUE regulations and greater rack densities will drive the industry towards liquid cooling, as it is nearly impossible to achieve low PUE values with traditional air cooling alone.”
The sustainability imperative Managing rising energy consumption and delivering sustainable operations is a non-negotiable for today’ s smart data centres.
Ciaran argues:“ Integrating software and smart technology across the data centre infrastructure will boost operational effectiveness and help us all to become more efficient, resilient and sustainable.”
The industry’ s aggressive adoption of renewable PPAs( power purchase agreements) and growing interest in generating renewable energy directly at data centre sites typify this shift.
