This session goes beyond the hype to explore practical solutions to deploy AI solutions in your enterprise. The sessions is broken into three sections, exploring impact in the data center, far edge and the future with emerging power topologies. In the data center, discover innovate ways to speed deployment using structural containment. Understand how power redundancy strategies need to evolve and what type of power distribution is needed. See how direct to chip liquid cooling manifolds require a new rack footprint. In the far edge, understand how to deal with having a mini data center, as AI increases network demands. In the emerging power topologies section, learn about new innovations in DC power topologies being deployed for AI, as the 48 volt DC power shelf is changing the way servers are powered with solutions over 100KW. See how next generation +/- 400 volt DC topologies could push the power limits on AI racks over 1MW.
