The reality of AI infrastructure has arrived: the power-hungry chips of today, such as the NVIDIA Blackwell, have rendered traditional air cooling obsolete

With AI operations, efficiency isn’t just about how much energy you consume. Rather, it’s about how much compute you produce from it, making output a more meaningful measure of performance

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

The cost and efficiency benefits of cold plate and immersion cooling won't bring the breakthrough in energy performance the industry needs

The opportunistic behavior of modern processors means improved cooling can generate measurable performance benefits for IT equipment

Data center operators are squeezed between increasingly power-hungry servers and the demands of sustainability

Direct liquid cooling has enormous potential if the industry can get the chemistry right

Advances in data center cooling and power technology could seriously undermine PUE as a benchmarking tool and eventually spell its obsolescence as an efficiency metric

There are several ways to remove energy from high performance computing (HPC) installations. Which should you choose?

At some point, air-cooled IT will reach its maximum potential. At that point, data centers will start to shift to liquid cooling
