Liquid cooling is taking its place as one of the most effective methods for thermal control in high-density, AI-driven compute environments, but it is the technology behind the coolant distribution system that makes the cooling process work so well. Think […]

The surge in AI demand proves that construction models that have been around for 200 years can still deliver value for modern needs. We’re talking about modular construction.  Homes, offices, and even city blocks have been constructed this way, featuring […]

The demand for AI-ready data center capacity shows no signs of slowing down, and is projected to grow at an average rate of 33% annually through 2030, according to McKinsey & Company. As AI workloads intensify, so do power and […]

Cloud elasticity has become a trending buzzword in the data center industry, particularly as hyperscalers, colocation, and AI-driven facilities expand. The ability to provision and de-provision computing resources dynamically based on demand is now seen as essential for performance, efficiency, […]

Are today’s data center cooling systems ready for the AI era?  Try to answer this question by visualizing a marathon runner wearing walking shoes — they’re simply not built for the pace, pressure, or performance demanded by the race. In […]

Data centers have gained prominence over the last few years, with many people taking notice how they uphold large parts of our modern, digital society. Data centers are increasingly seen as the backbone of modern society. But they’re also under […]

If you compared the American computing map today to just a year ago, you might not recognize it. Across the country, companies are racing to expand their AI infrastructure footprint, led by tech giants who keep acquiring hundreds of thousands […]

Hyperscalers and colocation providers are racing to meet AI’s surging demands. Yet, as workloads grow, so does thermal output, exposing serious gaps in data center cooling approaches. Some might assume that adding more cooling capacity is enough to close these […]

Keeping colocation data centers cool isn’t just about temperature; it’s about trust. With multiple tenants relying on shared infrastructure to run critical operations, even minor fluctuations in cooling performance can ripple into major disruptions. As high-density data centers become the […]

Cooling systems drive a large share of data center energy use, making them one of the most critical areas to target for improving overall energy efficiency. As demands on data centers increase, cooling will be key to powering the next […]

Can you remember going on a road trip 15 years ago? Or how you got around your hometown? Chances are, you used a paper map. At the time, it was the only way to navigate unfamiliar areas. But as cities […]

In 2025, a farmer in Iowa can monitor crop conditions using AI-powered sensors with the same real-time precision a Wall Street trader can analyze market data.  This kind of universal computing access is possible because data centers are no longer […]

In recent years, a growing narrative has gained traction, suggesting that air cooling systems have reached their limits. We keep hearing industry leaders saying that “air cooling must go” and give way to liquid-based methods.  While there’s some truth behind […]

Compact and powerful — this is the direction technology is heading. Remember the days when mobile phones were bulky and heavy? Over the years, these devices have become smaller, smarter, and more sophisticated, serving as multipurpose pocket-sized computers. High-density data […]

The intersection of AI and data centers represents one of the most significant data center trends of this decade. As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and drives innovation, it’s fundamentally transforming how data centers are designed, built, and operated. The impact […]

Have you ever felt choked, like the air around you just isn’t enough to keep you going? That’s exactly the situation many data centers are facing today.  Air cooling methods are still prevailing in the market, and have served the […]

The data center industry is at the heart of a digital transformation, and its rapid evolution shows no signs of slowing down. With worldwide market growth projected to triple by 2034 — rising from $256 billion to approximately $776 billion […]

The air quality in a data center cannot be fully assessed without considering humidity. Humidity, like temperature, significantly affects the longevity of sensitive equipment and overall data center performance. Still, maintaining optimal humidity levels is an often overlooked aspect of […]

Think about your household chores — no one enjoys doing them. Still, keeping the house clean and in top shape enhances your living experience and helps preserve and increase its value. This principle takes on even greater significance when applied […]

When making a significant purchase, such as a car or a house, you know to consider not only the here and now. Instead, you know long-term thinking is crucial. Things change, and you want your investment to serve you well […]

Selecting the right cooling system for your data center can be a daunting task. Among the various options available, evaporative cooling stands out as an innovative and efficient solution.  As the name suggests, evaporative cooling uses the evaporation process to […]

In the ever-expanding digital landscape, data centers serve as the backbone of our interconnected world. As these facilities grow in size and complexity, so does their energy consumption. At the heart of this challenge lies data center cooling — a […]

The global craving for data continually grows and shows no signs of slowing down. Data powers a wide range of activities, from everyday tasks like driving, emailing, listening to music, and even cleaning houses (thanks, iRobot) to more complex applications […]

Selecting a cooling system for your data center is similar to buying a house — a decision that requires careful consideration of multiple factors. Just as you would evaluate a house’s size, layout, location, and amenities, data center operators must […]

It has already been widely acknowledged that data center cooling can’t be compromised. To put it bluntly, even a brief cooling outage can trigger catastrophic fallout, impacting both end-users and data center operators. With that in mind, precision cooling technologies […]
