AI turns liquid cooling into a data center must-have solution [Video]

Artificial intelligence (AI) has upped the ante across all tech arenas, including one of the most traditional ones: data centers. Modern data centers are running hotter than ever – not just to manage ever-increasing processing demands, but also rising temperatures as the result of AI workloads, which sees no end in sight. Two out of three IT leaders expect AI spending to increase this year, making it a necessity to find new ways to cool data centers.^[1]

Liquid cooling is rapidly gaining traction because it is the future of data center success. A Spring 2024 survey among 812 IT professionals^[2] found that 38.3% expect to use liquid cooling infrastructure in their data centers by 2026. That’s nearly double the percentage from a similar survey conducted at the beginning of 2024, and it is likely to continue this acceleration path over the next few years.

A must-have capability 

Liquid cooling is a simple concept: …
