In this session from ABB and Applied Digital, discover how a cutting-edge, collaborative partnership is redefining AI data center electrical architecture from the ground up.
Attendees will gain insight into how a strategic operator–technology leading partnership took a novel approach to power architecture across two 400 MW facilities in North Dakota — delivering a breakthrough design that saves rack space, reduces materials and labor, and enables faster, more energy-efficient deployment and scaling.
Key takeaways include:
Understand how AI and high-density compute are transforming traditional data center models into AI Factories.
How electrification and innovative energy strategies simplify deployment and reduce costs, enabling more efficient growth.
Learn real-world design trade-offs, deployment strategies, and practical insights from ABB and Applied Digital's collaboration to identify critical steps operators and partners must urgently take to futureproof for the next wave of AI demand.
