The Evolution of Data Centers and the Future of Cooling and Connectivity

With the emergence and rise of cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT),  and generative AI (artificial intelligence) technologies, the demands for data computing, storage, and network traffic continue to grow significantly.

Data centers are essential for processing and distributing this data, forming the backbone of our digital existence. This unstoppable expansion of digital data networks is fundamentally reshaping the infrastructure that powers our connected world, driving critical changes in power and cooling solutions for these facilities.

Such workloads require increasingly high levels of power and efficiency in data centers — requirements that exceed the capabilities of existing air-cooled configurations. As data center technology evolves, liquid cooling and immersion cooling have emerged as solutions for some of these challenges.

This trend paper explores how data centers are evolving to meet increasing demands with a focus on new design approaches and connectivity solutions.
