Data center design has always been shaped by the demands of the customers whose workloads run on the IT equipment (ITE) housed within. Over the last few decades, the most impactful trend has been the relentless rise in ITE power consumption, driven by the quest for ever-greater chip performance in the AI data center.
ASHRAE defines three eras: the single-core era (2000-2010), the multi-core era (2011-2017), and the power wars era (2018-present). In the power wars era, more computation requires more watts, driven by the explosive growth of power-intensive workloads, fueled by the appetite for more data, real-time data consumption, and the transformative potential of AI and machine learning.
Rising ITE power consumption is driving the rise of the high density data center. Support AI and other computationally intense workloads requires configurable data center design and direct liquid cooling (DLC).
