The way data centres are built and operated is undergoing a significant transformation due to the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Until recently, data centre design has evolved relatively slowly, but advances in technology have led to improved reliability, cost efficiency, and power usage.
Modern data centres now feature high-power racks, capable of delivering up to one megawatt of power. However, these advanced systems require innovative solutions for power delivery, server cooling, and maintaining uptime while accommodating a range of workloads, including cloud and co-location services.
Industry experts gathered at the Datacloud Global Congress 2025 panel to discuss how rising demands from AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) are forcing them to reassess design, reliability, power consumption, and even sustainability. The sector’s response will have a significant impact on its future development and public perception.
