DCD>Studio: Designing AI infrastructure as a complete system, with Peter De Bock, Eaton
Emma Strutton speaks with Peter De Bock of Eaton on AI infrastructure, integrated power and cooling design, liquid cooling adoption, and high-voltage architectures supporting future high-density, megawatt-scale data center racks.
The rapid scaling of AI models and demand for AI compute is driving an urgent need for more efficient and powerful infrastructure solutions, making integrated design critical.
Sophisticated readers should care because inadequate power and cooling infrastructure will be a severe bottleneck for AI's continued growth and scalability, impacting compute availability and cost.
The focus is shifting from discrete component optimization to integrated system design for AI data centers, emphasizing power, cooling, and high-voltage architectures for extreme densities.
