A recent special report article series outlines how organizations are adapting their cooling strategies, and why liquid cooling is no longer a “nice to have” but a necessity.
Today’s workloads are heavier, denser, and more power-hungry than ever and the simple fact is modern heat loads are beyond what air cooling can efficiently handle. This seismic shift has prompted industry leaders to not just experiment with liquid cooling, but to embrace hybrid solutions that integrate liquid cooling technologies in ways that enable the next generation of computing.
Why Liquid Cooling Is No Longer Optional for AI-Driven Data Centers: Air cooling has been the backbone of data center thermal management for decades, but it’s tapped out. We kick off our article series by exploring why liquid cooling is the only viable path forward for data centers aiming to support AI, HPC, and high-density workloads at scale.
Liquid Cooling as an Imperative: How Did We Get Here So Fast?: As computing power and density rise, liquid cooling is not just an option — it is the logical next step in thermal management for modern data centers. In this article, we examine how liquid cooling became a data center essential so quickly.
The Liquid Cooling Designs Making an Impact TodayLiquid cooling isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution and understanding how and when it should be implemented will be critical for optimizing efficiency and performance at scale. We continue our article series by highlighting the liquid cooling designs making an impact today.
