The evolution of data centers is in full swing, driven by the growing demand for data and the rapid advance of artificial intelligence. With these technologies, there will be a greater need for high-density power and cooling, along with innovations for more environmentally efficient solutions:
- Integration of Artificial Intelligence
In response to the increased adoption of AI and high performance compute (HPC), the sector is preparing to deploy the necessary infrastructure to meet the required power and cooling capacity. This advancement entails an increase in high-density power and cooling needs, along with innovations for more energy efficient solutions.
The implementation of AI in the data center allows:
- Anomaly detection: It can identify unusual patterns and detect issues before they begin. This real-time detection mitigates potential risks before damages occur.
- More proactive security measures: AI enables data centers to predict potential threats and vulnerabilities.
- Data protection: Data centers can enhance data processing, storage, and security. This helps protect uptime, reliability, and integrity of critical business data, both in transit and stored.
- Pursuit of Energy Efficiency
