Rising demand for AI and HPC is accelerating the shift towards liquid cooling, but greenfield capacity cannot always keep pace. This report, kindly sponsored by Airedale, examines when retrofitting existing data centres makes strategic sense and how operators can move from assessment to execution.
Liquid cooling is creating a new M&A battleground in data centres, where different buyer groups are pursuing distinct acquisition strategies to control an increasingly critical part of the infrastructure stack.
As AI workloads push rack densities higher and liquid cooling becomes essential infrastructure, a fragmented vendor landscape is ripe for consolidation.
As AI’s energy consumption rises, so do sustainability concerns. This report explores why this technology is so power-intensive, how to mitigate its impact and whether it can help reduce emissions. It also examines four possible scenarios for future energy consumption – from unchecked growth to greater efficiency – and their sustainability implications.
Edge computing presents unique challenges and limitations when compared to traditional data centres. This report provides practical guidance for edge operators aiming to achieve sustainability goals.
