If you haven't read this article by Luke Kipfer of PowerHouse Data Centers you need to, its very informative. Few key take aways: Power requirement demands at least two to three times greater with AI than in more traditional use cases. The semiconductor industry faces shortages in the production of high-performance chip sets crucial for AI computations. AI deployments represent a new kind of build whose true demands are still being established. Are we going to see a slow down in AI deployment this year? Maybe, if we can't produce the power or supply the chips? Will those buildings and technology of AI today be either derelict or difunctional in years to come? There are lots of moving parts to getting this AI boom right and only time will tell who the real long term winners are! #ai #technews #semiconductor #investment #construction #datacenter #techadvancements

The escalating global demand for AI is triggering a parallel surge in data center requirements. The anticipated doubling of data generation in the next five years is not just an indicator of AI's pervasive impact but also underscores the critical need for sustainable and efficient data infrastructure. The projected growth in data storage capacity necessitates innovative approaches in data center design and operation. Developments like liquid cooling and alternative power sources are at the forefront of this evolution, aiming to meet the high energy demands of generative AI. This trend marks a pivotal moment for real estate investors and data center operators, aligning technological advancements with sustainable practice. #DataCenterGrowth #SustainableTech #AIDemand #InfrastructureInnovation

Software and AI is becoming an essential part of the energy transition. This year at #distributech24 we announced GridOS Data Fabric to help utilities better orchestrate the electric grid and enable development of AI/ML applications. #ai #data #machinelearning #artificialintelligence #softwaresales

Data centres are a power play now Generative AI is making #datacentres even more power hungry, putting the spotlight on their clean energy needs. https://okt.to/t5yI1D #Infrastructure #digitaltransformation #Digitalinfrastructure #cleanenergy

Is developing microgrids becoming a non-negotiable for data centers looking to scale in line with AI? #AI workloads demand megawatts upon megawatts of reliable power, with the appetite for computing only set to grow. In many regions, it is clear that the grid will simply not be able to meet this demand robustly. Therefore, operators must take power into their own hands to secure their supply. In this episode of #DCDAIWeek, we explore: • The critical role of decentralized power in an AI age • How unparalleled resilience is achieved through utilizing power protection technologies • Going beyond island mode: Leveraging microgrids to give back to the utility • Drawing on practical examples to highlight the tangible benefits of energy independence Watch the broadcasts here: http://ms.spr.ly/6045lbkKD
