Connect | APAC // DCD Talks scaling in a high‑density world: AI, cooling, & supply chain reality with Jonathan Buchanan | Wesco Anixter

As AI workloads drive unprecedented rack densities, data centres are being pushed to scale faster while managing increasing complexity across cooling, infrastructure, and supply chains. In this fireside chat, Jonathan Buchanan from Wesco Anixter will share real‑world insights on what it takes to scale in a high‑density data centre. The discussion will explore the shift toward liquid cooling, evolving white space design, and how supply chain constraints are shaping deployment timelines and technology choices. Attendees will gain a practical perspective on balancing speed, agility, and reliability from sourcing critical components to integrating power, cooling, and connectivity. Learn how a coordinated, lifecycle approach helps operators navigate the realities of AI scale while building resilient, future‑ready data centre infrastructure.
