The latest CPUs and GPUs will consume more power than ever to support artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced applications. How is this compatible with data centers’ energy efficiency imperatives?

Data centers can bring a whole lot more to communities than just great jobs, but operators must earn their trust first, as Sabey in Quincy, Washington State, demonstrates

Operational technology, the computing and communications systems that keep electricity networks buzzing and railways running, has resisted cloud migration. However, things may be changing in a new era of convergence

PEM fuel cells were pioneered in the 1960s by NASA. Now, suggests Nedstack’s Jakob Bruinsma, they’re on the cusp of the big-time

The road to decarbonization in the data center sector offers multiple potential ways forward. INNIO’s Thomas Seeber and Clarke Energy’s Adam Wray-Summerson discuss all the options

New demands from high-performance compute are placing even bigger demands on rack PDUs. How are companies like Legrand helping data center operators to keep up?

The tipping point for liquid cooling has arrived, with a few choices on technology, so which direction should data center operators take?

Edge data centers can be many things, from telecoms exchanges in the middle of nowhere to colo facilities in town. But which solutions will keep them all reliably cooled?

Data centers are gearing up for an AI-led boom. But what are the challenges and how will it pan out? DCD talks to Schneider’s Elliott Turek to find out more

Supply chains have been a fraught issue for some time, but Kirby has masterminded the new normal with aplomb. Kirby’s Sean Rapple tells DCD how they’ve done it

Fossil fuels are involved in almost every aspect of human activity and production. So, a roadmap to net-zero will need the help of specialists who know how to get there

When Cummins’ Rich Scroggins was young, Jetsons-style flying cars were the future. While flying cars haven’t emerged yet, the future of the data center is becoming increasingly clear

Modern data center architectures and construction are some of the most energy efficient facilities in history, argues John Sabey of Sabey Data Centers

The cooling challenge has intensified as data centers have become bigger and systems more complex. What can data center operators do to ensure resilience, save money and slash carbon emissions?

Air cooling is struggling to handle the temperatures generated by leading edge server CPUs and GPUs, while immersion has its own issues. Is ‘spray cooling’ the answer?

When it comes to commissioning, Kirby doesn’t just ‘go by the book’, but has written a few extra chapters to ensure everything goes smoothly

Boom in demand for facilities optimized for artificial intelligence is causing a rethink in data center design, including a shift to modular roll-outs, says Instor’s Sam Prudhomme

Demonstrating that a particular material is better for the environment than another might be hard, but new tools have been released proving the environmental advantages of plastic piping over metal

Server CPU TDPs are set to soar as AI and other applications demand more power. GRC’s John Bean and Alex McManis tell DCD how immersion cooling will keep them cool

The data center sector is one of the most demanding in the world. Cummins’ Rich Scroggins tells DCD how data center operators are leading the way towards sustainability and decarbonization

The rise of renewable power makes balancing the power grid more challenging. But data centers can help by providing grid balancing and other services, argues Eaton’s Forrest D. Secosky

Sensors are at the heart of genuinely smart data center management architectures, but what does a smart technology partner look like? DCD talks to ABB’s Narain Chandwani to find out

Decarbonization and Net Zero are journeys, not projects. AVK’s Ben Pritchard maps out the way, calling at HVO, on-site generation and microgrids

Modular data centers are finding homes in hospitals, banks, the military, and, of course, at the Edge. But will the critical cooling they need be up to the task?

For data center piping solutions, plastic isn’t just the most sustainable choice, it also means less maintenance and greater reliability, GF Piping System’s Benjamin Sheppard tells DCD

Ron Spangler of Vertiv talks to DCD about air cooling, and how developments in liquid cooling will lead to a hybrid data center merging the best of both worlds

Heat exchangers need to be designed bespoke for the application in order to maximize energy efficiency, says Alfa Laval’s Anna Blomborg

Kirby prides itself on its ‘no surprises approach’ to projects, backed up by thorough planning with all stakeholders from pre-construction all the way to commissioning
