AI’s hidden impact and Vertiv’s vision for the data center of the future
Within an industry expected to grow from $2.4 billion in 2023 to $33 billion by 2027, data center infrastructure solutions providers like Vertiv are developing new solutions to support these new demands.
This report looks at new challenges driven by the increased use of AI and how Vertiv envisions the data center of the future meeting these challenges.
Key takeaways:
- Increased power demands are creating challenges around sustainability and performance that industry needs to address
- The need for the data center industry to be more energy efficient and reduce dependency on power from the grid
- Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), battery energy storage systems (BESS), and liquid cooling systems are expected to power up this vision
Challenges:
- Retrofitting cooling and power systems can be very costly
- High density liquid cooled racks can leave empty white space
- High-density servers based mostly on air-cooling will require new systems to remove more heat
- Finding a balance between driving the current generation of technology and investing sufficiently for the future while reflecting the needs of the enterprise colocation market
