Orchestrating a renewable future

Wannie Park, CEO/founder of LG NOVA-backed PADO, an intelligent energy orchestration platform for data centres, discusses the power consumption pressures of the data centre sector, with renewables offering a way forward - but many data centres don't know how to effectively manage and embed them into existing infrastructure. Wannie explains the technical challenges that come with renewable integration, why investing in new buildout is not sustainable long-term, and best practices for data centres to operate within existing energy constraints amid slow-moving AI regulation and consumer concern.

Fire safety at scale: protecting modern data centre construction sites

Aaron Velardi, head of North American development at Ramtech North America, explains that, as data centre construction across North America accelerates, projects are becoming larger, faster and more complex than ever before – and the consequences of getting fire safety wrong have never been higher. Traditional approaches, developed for early, smaller-scale facilities, are being stretched beyond their limits on today’s megasites. Aaron explores how evolving risks, updated NFPA guidance and technology-enabled temporary protection are redefining fire safety during data centre construction.

Collaboration to develop smaller data centres for the AI era

Ben Sooter, Director of Agentic AI Initiatives & Distributed AI Architecture at EPRI, and Bal Aujla, Director, Head of Advanced Research and Engineering, InfraPartners, discuss the collaboration between EPRI, Prologis, NVIDIA, and InfraPartners to study smaller-scale data centres designed for distributed inference. The collaborators will assess the deployment of micro data centres - ranging from 5 to 20 megawatts - at or near utility substations with available grid capacity that can be quickly set up. The goal is to bring inference capabilities - the process of generating real-time responses from trained models - closer to where data is generated and consumed, while making better use of underutilised infrastructure and reducing pressure on congested transmission systems.

Infinium launches Infinium Edge™ platform for high-density AI data centre immersion cooling

Robert Schuetzle, CEO of Infinium, explains that, as power densities of GPUs, CPUs and supporting components continue to rise, cooling has emerged as one of the primary constraints to data centre performance, efficiency, siting and scale. He goes on to discuss the company’s Infinium Edge™, an advanced data centre infrastructure platform designed to enable high-density artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads through immersion cooling.
