The data center industry has caught wind of generative artificial intelligence (AI), and is preparing for impact. Maybe you've read an article about it, or read through the infrastructure demands outlined in the April 2023 issue of DCD’s magazine.
Either way, it's been seemingly impossible to avoid the ongoing conversation about using AI in data centers, and how it will likely push computing density past what has been forecasted.
Vertiv Power Solutions For Data Centers
(Donwil Company is a Local Vertiv Representative Office)
Generative AI is significant for the data center industry because it drives the public cloud, and because there are expectations for it to be deployed in a hybrid way. Hyperscalers and cloud providers are well-positioned to meet this demand by utilizing high-density cooling and power solutions.
High-density cooling and power allows data centers to support the industry's growth and make AI available for a wider range of customers. This is critical because AI can contribute to a more efficient infrastructure with reduced carbon footprint.
Below are a few examples of energy/cost benefits, outlined by McKinsey, that data center customers can enjoy with the help of AI generation:
- Use of AI-driven shutdown solutions to stop running systems not in use, while calibrating optimal equipment settings to curb waste
- Use of IoT-based energy optimization to provide accurate consumption readings using sensors that precisely gauge grid-power input and usage, helping detect potential problems and issuing real-time alerts
- Making structural and architectural transformations to, among other measures, migrate to cloud-RAN and “clean cloud” systems
- Strategically evaluating energy sourcing
Because of these benefits, our partner Vertiv anticipates a widespread integration of AI technologies.
