Vertiv 360AI is designed to help accelerate retrofits of air-cooled edge and enterprise data centres, as well as the development of hyperscale greenfield projects, says Wojtek Piorko, MD for Africa at Vertiv.
There’s no doubt, across any industry, that artificial intelligence is here, and it is here to stay. The use cases for AI are virtually limitless, from breakthroughs in medicine and enhanced farming techniques to high-accuracy fraud prevention and personalised education.
To put this into perspective, consider the fact that a typical IT rack used to run workloads from five to 10 kilowatts , and racks running loads higher than 20kW were considered as high-density. AI-chips, however, can require around five times as much power and five times as much cooling capacityin the same space as a traditional server. So, we’re now seeing rack densities of 40kW per rack and even more than 100kW in some instances.
Getting enough power to each rack requires upgrades from the grid to the rack. In the white space specifically, this likely means high amperage busway and high-density rack PDUs. To reject the massive amount of heat generated by hardware running AI workloads,Cold plates sit atop the heat-generating components to draw off heat. Pumped single-phase or two-phase fluid draws off heat from the cold plates to send it out of the data centre, exchanging heat but not fluids with the chip.
