Connect | Virginia // Debate: Air, liquid, or hybrid - Which strategy wins when workloads explode?

The cooling conversation is currently defined by the difficult and expensive transition from traditional air systems to the liquid and hybrid models necessary to support extreme AI heat loads.  Addressing cooling requirements and infrastructure decisions is a major challenge, but making the right choices now can prevent being left behind as workloads grow. 

Given the urgency of the conversation, the panel will explore:

• Best practises for retrofitting for hybrid cooling
• How can modular design be implemented for cooling flexibility?
• Can infrastructure fixes like sidecar solutions be sustainable for the future?
• Evaluating sustainable strategies, such as closed-loop systems
