Topic: AI Data Centers: Powering the Future of Digital Transformation
Key Highlights:
[1] Strategic location selection is no longer about proximity to your office, but about enabling business productivity through access, reliability, and scalability of infrastructure.
[2] As we move towards gigawatt-scale campuses, traditional power distribution will no longer suffice; data centre partners must therefore innovate with solutions such as small modular reactors and private grids.
[3] To support AI workloads, data centres must be designed for high-density infrastructure, incorporating modern cooling technologies such as direct-to-chip and liquid immersion cooling within the same floor.
[4] With hybrid IT ecosystems becoming the norm, access to hyperscalers and financial ecosystems via simple cross-connects is essential for ultra-low latency and cost optimisation.
[5] Sustainability is now a critical business metric, and data centre partners must support enterprises in achieving green energy targets while also delivering measurable cost savings.
