Meta axes two Danish datacenters amid shift to AI infrastructure
"Over the last several weeks, we've announced a number of steps that will make us a more streamlined organization. A big part of that is a shift of more of our resources to higher priority growth areas, including a strategic investment in artificial intelligence," Münster said.
Thus the switch in Danish strategy."AI workloads at scale require a different type of datacenter than those built to support our regular online services." GPU-accelerated compute nodes commonly deployed for AI/ML workloads can consume an order of magnitude more power than a general compute server. It's not uncommon for a single 5U GPU server to consume north of 6.5kW, and next-gen systems are expected to consume closer to 11kW. As a result, datacenters must be equipped to handle these systems' power and thermal requirements.
Despite terminating the datacenter projects, Meta claims it remains committed to Denmark's Odense region. ®
