Why artificial intelligence requires networking intelligence

The latest CPUs and GPUs will consume more power than ever to support artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced applications. How is this compatible with data centers’ energy efficiency imperatives?

Operational technology, the computing and communications systems that keep electricity networks buzzing and railways running, has resisted cloud migration. However, things may be changing in a new era of convergence

Edge data centers can be many things, from telecoms exchanges in the middle of nowhere to colo facilities in town. But which solutions will keep them all reliably cooled?

The network is the critical influence on every aspect of the data center: driving power distribution and structured cabling – the most costly parts of a data center fitout

Most applications can be hosted out of any data center, anywhere in the world. So why not choose data centers in the most sustainable locations offering stable power prices?

And how Covid threw a spanner into the works

Data centers are made from concrete, cement, steel and glass, and consume vast amounts of power. So how can operators genuinely become “sustainable”, let alone achieve net-zero?
