Analyst Insight Into How AI Computing Will Change the Data Center Out To 2030

Popular opinion on AI computing is split between those perceiving the ramping investment as a bubble, and those convinced by the technological advancements, therefore risking underinvestment. In this session, the Omdia analyst team will show data-backed AI adoption and technology development projections. Exploring key themes on how computing will increasingly be planned at the rack level, with multiple parallel development efforts driving different facility requirement for data center operators. Powering and cooling AI computing will increasingly become application or even end-user specific. To provide a range of views on this, Omdia will bring in experts from technology innovators for two industry panels.
