AWS data centers harness liquid cooling for maximum efficiency [Video]

Building modern data centers requires inventive solutions, especially in the age of energy-sucking artificial intelligence.

Amazon Web Services Inc. has focused on creating highly efficient and reliable data centers. The company is embracing liquid cooling techniques and scalable infrastructure to save more energy, according to Kevin Miller (pictured), vice president of global data centers at AWS.

“We build our own data centers, and we really rethought the way that works,” he said. “We are now using industrial software to manage [diagnosing failures], where instead of hours … the software takes two seconds. It can identify the problem and then change the configuration of our electrical system to fix that problem. Therefore, we don’t even have to run a generator.”

Miller spoke with theCUBE Research’s John Furrier for theCUBE’s “Cloud AWS re:Invent Coverage,” during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how Amazon is effectively building modern data centers.
