What’s changed in data centers that’s driving the adoption? In this episode of Data Center Dialogues, Alison Matte is joined by Wendy Torell, Senior Research Analyst at Schneider Electric, and Maria Torres Arango, Research Analyst at Schneider Electric, to unveil ten practical ways to harness energy and water efficiencies with direct liquid cooling.

Follow the discussion:

  • The main changes in data centers that’s driving the need for liquid cooling.
  • Breaking down the ten ways to improve energy and water use with liquid cooling: seven design factors and three operational choices.
  • Future trends in liquid cooling.

With AI workloads growing fast and sustainability targets in sharper focus, are data centers under pressure to rethink how they cool? If this sparked a new perspective, pass it along.
