Seminars
Transitioning to liquid cooling requires more than just a technology swap, it demands a holistic strategy that accounts for workload diversity, infrastructure constraints and long-term scalability. This session will explore how organizations are approaching these challenges in practice, ensuring that performance gains are realized without
compromising efficiency or operational flexibility.
This workshop will gather experts to discuss:
• Identifying the drivers of liquid cooling adoption as AI and high-density workloads surpass the limits of traditional air-cooled solutions
• Comparing performance, efficiency and scalability between air and liquid cooling to inform which solution fits your data centers’ needs
• Evaluating facility planning considerations, including space, power/water use and vendor coordination, to support liquid cooling development from day one
• Defining effective hybrid strategies that balance air and liquid cooling to support diverse customer requirements
