The evolution of data center cooling
From water to emerging technologies
From water to emerging technologies
How data center leaders can ensure their infrastructure is prepared for the demands of AI-driven workloads by reframing liquid cooling as a strategic investment, rather than simply an upfront investment
The next generation of data centers will be defined by how well they support the workloads of tomorrow – starting today
Musings following a thought-provoking debate at DCD>Connect London 2025
AI has redrawn the thermal and electrical map of data center infrastructure. But when liquid and power mix, safety is not assured; it’s engineered
Retrofitting liquid cooling isn’t a compromise; it’s an opportunity to maximize the value of existing facilities while preparing for the AI-driven future
In an industry where sustainability and performance are often framed as trade-offs, Data4 is making the case that they can – and must – go hand in hand
Immersion cooling on the horizon
Cooling isn’t just about lowering temperatures. It’s about keeping businesses running smarter, longer, and more sustainably
Bringing liquid to the enterprise data center
A lot of water will be needed to cool data centers, but where is it going to come from?
High-density heat is the new bottleneck. Which liquid cooling and heat rejection strategies are best equipped to handle it?
There's plenty to think about for the AI future
The adoption of liquid cooling in data centers has reached a critical juncture
Next-generation GPUs, soaring rack power densities, and the race to scale generative AI are forcing a top-to-bottom rethink of data center design
The importance of liquid cooling - both direct-to-chip and immersion
By designing for adaptability, investing in real-time visibility, and integrating cooling into the broader infrastructure stack, operators can address the key challenges
As AI and HPC continue to reshape the data center landscape, leaders must rethink not just what they cool, but how they cool
Data centers should be seen as the next logical units of compute, as IT and facilities infrastructure become more closely coupled driven by the demands of AI workloads
How to successfully implement liquid cooling to manage heat in high-density computing environments
Developing water-saving and sustainable data centers is a critical step in addressing climate change and ensuring a sustainable digital future
Liquid cooling, upscaling the workforce, and industry collaboration will be essential
