Hot-water cooling addresses the AI power challenge

Published in Energy Management Power & Cooling

Dr. Peter de Bock, vice president, Data Center Energy and Cooling Technology, Eaton, discusses what the launch of the NVIDIA Rubin platform means for data centre power demand, explaining that it could be a transformative innovation that enables data centres to redirect power to more compute because of hot-water cooling, advanced cold plates and intelligent coolant distribution units (CDUs).

How tier two locations are changing data centre planning

Published in Design + Optimisation Energy Management Hosting + Colocation Power & Cooling

Christina Mertens, vice president of business development, EMEA, at VIRTUS Data Centres, explains that, for data centre operators, the question is no longer only where capacity can be deployed quickly, but where it can be sustained, expanded and operated reliably over long time horizons. This shift has brought tier two locations into sharper focus. These locations are not replacing core markets, but they are increasingly shaping how new capacity is planned and managed over time.

Waste heat from data centres could heat over 3.5 million UK homes

Published in Energy Management Power & Cooling

Simon Kerr, head of heat networks at EnergiRaven, discusses the recent analysis from EnergiRaven and Viegand Maagøe finds that projected growth in data centres will produce enough waste heat to warm millions of homes in the UK by 2035 – if the infrastructure is in place to take advantage of it. Simon goes on to explain how the UK risks missing out on a major source of low-cost home heating if it fails to invest in the Heat Highways needed to capture waste heat from the next generation of...

Creating good chemistry to cater for AI data centre power demands

Published in Power & Cooling

Brandon Smith, VP of Global Sales and Product at ZincFive, how AI workloads are fundamentally changing data centre power profiles - shifting from steady, predictable loads to highly dynamic, burst-driven demand and, as a result, redefining what “reliable power” means in the AI era. He gores on to explain how Immediate Power Solutions, based on nickel-zinc chemistry provide the high power density, rapid discharge capability, safety and cycle life needed for AI environments.
