Solving Data Center Cooling for AI and Traditional Workloads: Stream Data Centers Talks Hybrid Cooling Solutions

This on-demand Data Center Dynamics panel sponsored by Munters and featuring Stuart Lawrence, VP of Product Innovation & Sustainability, assesses the choices data centers need to make regarding cooling technologies.

Stuart Lawrence, Stream Data Centers’ Vice President of Product Innovation and Sustainability, joins other industry experts in this on-demand video to examine the choices and trade-offs facing data center owners and operators when optimizing for hybrid cooling options.

As chip and server architectures advance to support AI applications and dependence on traditional workloads continues, the choice of cooling methodologies will significantly impact operational efficiency, reliability, integration and scalability. Within this panel, listeners will get an in-depth look at what that will mean for data center design, deployment and operation.

Hybrid cooling solutions are becoming a priority for most data centers, and will continue to become more important as various types of IT equipment and assorted workloads proliferate and evolve. Data centers operating at gigawatt scale leave no room for error, but by adding flexibility and configurability to cooling options, they can create a path toward greater cost and resource efficiencies, among other advantages.

The panel also includes Keith Dunnavant from Munters, Todd Czworniak from Syska Hennessy Group and host Kat Sullivan of Datacenter Dynamics. This group discusses different cooling options, as well as challenges and trade-offs in designing data center facilities to meet today’s needs while creating flexibility to adapt to future innovations.

This video webinar gives data center owners and operators who are looking for resilience, flexibility and reliability information on:

• Provisioning for the right balance of air cooling and liquid cooling
• CDU (Cooling Distribution Unit) selection strategies, redundancy and fluid parameters
• Pros and cons of direct-to-chip single-phase versus liquid immersion cooling
• Managing the pressures regarding energy and water use
