Data Center World 2024

As the demand for computational power surges with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, data center operators face the challenge of efficiently managing heat dissipation while preparing for unprecedented workloads. This presentation explores the pivotal role of liquid cooling implementation and integrating liquid cooling solutions into existing infrastructure as the key to unlocking the potential of AI-driven computing. By embracing liquid cooling technology now rather than later, data centers can enjoy the benefits of enhanced efficiency and performance, thus maximizing the potential of AI-driven computing. Through an analysis of real-world case studies, we showcase innovative approaches to data center cooling where the use of targeted liquid cooling solutions is leveraged to maximize PUE and WUE.
Attendees will gain insights into the benefits of liquid cooling, including enhanced thermal management, improved energy efficiency, and scalability to accommodate evolving AI workloads. We will also discuss practical considerations for data center operators who may not be ready to fully adopt liquid cooling, demonstrating how a combined approach to cooling will allow for a gradual transition towards a more liquid-centric cooling infrastructure.
