Connect | Virginia // DCD Talks accelerating speed-to-market with Stephen McAfee | Viega

AI clusters continue pushing rack densities, and liquid cooling is now the standard. But the piping that carries the coolant is still mostly built the old way. 

Welding, brazing and grooving are slow and completed one step at a time, and there aren’t enough certified welders to keep up with the build-out across North America. The result is that the mechanical scope is quietly becoming one of the biggest risks to data center schedule certainty.

In this DCD Talks session, Stephen McAfee gives a field-level look at how data center teams are building cooling infrastructure faster without compromising reliability. 

Attendees will leave with practical ways to get cooling systems built and running sooner.
