Connect | Brasil 2026 // Debate: How to implement and scale liquid cooling in data centers while ensuring reliable operations?

As AI and other high-density workloads push data centers beyond the limits of traditional cooling, liquid cooling is moving from a future concept to an operational reality. But adopting it at scale raises a critical question: how can operators introduce new cooling technologies without compromising the reliability and resilience their facilities depend on? This debate will bring together experts from across the ecosystem to explore the journey from first implementation to large-scale deployment, examining the practical challenges around design, integration, maintenance, standards and day-to-day operations, and what it will take to make liquid cooling a reliable foundation for data centers.
