Meshing matters in the data centre

Keith Sullivan, Director of Strategic Innovation at AFL, explains what meshing means in the context of data centres and why it is particularly important when it comes to GPU-intensive, AI compute workloads. Keith also outlines the common strategies used to implement meshing in a data centre and shares his thoughts as to how meshing will evolve over the next few years, with silicon photonics and co-packaged optics on the horizon.

AI - why inferencing matters as much as LLMs

David Hurtado, Managing Director of Quetta Data Centers, discusses the impact of AI on the data centre market, explaining that today’s focus on LLMs and training will soon be joined by AI inferencing, where low latency at the edge will be crucial in delivering an optimised application experience. David also discusses the need for liquid cooling in high density data centre environments and outlines how Quetta is developing an AI data centre portfolio for the Iberian peninsula.

Electronics visibility eliminates energy waste at the chip level, and beyond

Noam Brousard, Vice President, Solutions Engineering, proteanTecs, explains how semiconductors are straining under GenAI workloads such as model training, inference, and high-performance AI applications, and are quietly bleeding energy across data centres. proteanTecs has invented ML-driven deep data health & performance monitoring, which enables AI chipmakers to reclaim 8 - 14% in power savings without sacrificing performance, by eliminating the energy waste baked into traditional design. This also decreases the amount of water needed to cool down servers. For a data centre like Meta’s Hyperion, that would mean savings of up to 700 megawatts or enough power for more than 200,000 homes.

Dispatchable power redefines the data centre energy conversation

Ben Pritchard, AVK CEO, discusses the findings of a joint Wartsila and AVK-SEG white paper: Data centre dispatchable capacity: a major opportunity for Europe’s energy transition, which provides new analysis on how data centre microgrids can reduce grid infrastructure spending, emissions and wasted energy, while providing a balanced path for the energy transition. The analysis finds that powering the data centres across Europe by optimised microgrids could create a significant bank of dispatchable power, supporting the entire continent’s energy transition.
