As data centers rapidly expand to meet growing global demand, every part of their operations seems to be expanding too. Energy consumption, cooling requirements, computer processing and demands for a talented workforce are hitting record highs. With emerging regulations and the urgent need for sustainable practices, data center management must go beyond traditional approaches to keep pace. From designing gigawatt-scale facilities to integrating alternative energy sources, this discussion will focus on strategies for optimizing energy use, reducing downtime, and extending the lifecycle of data centers. This session will dive into the critical role of AI in managing power and balancing operational demands. Join this session to learn more about:
