The demands of AI are pushing the traditional model of data centre design. Flexibility and scalability are vital to meeting the increasing demands from advanced workloads and the unprecedented demand for compute power.
- How are operators adapting cooling strategies—liquid cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, and AI-driven airflow management—to meet rack densities exceeding 30kW in hot climate zones like the GCC?
- How are proximity to IXPs, submarine cable landings, and grid reliability shaping site selection and architectural decisions?
- How are engineering teams designing for GPU clusters, liquid immersion cooling, and dynamic load balancing to support generative AI
