Today is a great day for innovation and the focus from our #AIInfraDeck Release 2 is the #HardwareRefreshCycle, which is crucial for maintaining high performance in #AIInfrastructure. A hardware refresh cycle is a planned upgrade or replacement of IT hardware, like servers, storage, and networking equipment. This is especially important in data center colocation where performance and reliability are key for AI workloads. Typically, companies schedule these cycles every three to five years, driven by factors such as #TechnologicalAdvancements, #PerformanceNeeds, and #BudgetConsiderations. The process involves reviewing the current hardware to see if it still meets operational needs and evaluating newer technologies that can enhance performance, improve energy efficiency, and support scalability. For AI workloads, staying up-to-date with cutting-edge hardware is especially critical because the demands for computation are constantly evolving. A well-timed hardware refresh cycle ensures you’re using the best technology for your growing infrastructure needs without experiencing performance bottlenecks. Why does this matter? Refresh cycles directly impact the efficiency of your data center deployment, your ability to handle workloads effectively, and your bottom line. The more up-to-date your hardware is, the better optimized your AI infrastructure will be. This ultimately means faster processing times, more efficient energy usage, and fewer risks of system failures. If you're wondering how to best manage your hardware refresh cycle, I’d love to connect! My team and I can guide you through evaluating your current infrastructure and planning upgrades to optimize performance for AI deployments. Hit me up, and let’s chat about how we can help streamline your infrastructure and future-proof your data center operations. Thanks for checking this out. Get out there, do great things, inspire folks, and be kind.

Why managing AI workloads requires AI-powered optimisation    Increasing demands to process AI workloads are creating very real engineering challenges for today’s data centre operations teams. The stakes are high with AI systems set to use around 10x the amount of power per rack, while managing an increasingly hybrid mixed air and #liquidcooling infrastructure is incredibly complicated    Managing these incredibly complex workloads will require absolute real-time visibility of data center white space if they are to successfully balance evolving AI workload power, cooling and capacity requirements. Download our advisory ebook "We're all talking about GenAI deployments, but how ready are we really?" https://lnkd.in/e89Wr5-z   EkkoSense’s Robert Linsdell will set out how only AI can help when it comes to capturing, visualising and analysing this complexity during his keynote at the W.Media - Global event in Sydney. Robert will demonstrate how EkkoSense’s disruptive AI-powered optimisation software draws on the power of over 50 billion machine learning datapoints to provide real-time insight into how their AI compute infrastructure - potentially worth upwards of up to AUD $10 million plus per rack – is performing. Not attending?

It's an amazing time for #DataCenterExperts . AI is transforming our data center workloads at an incredible pace! From massive training clusters to compact edge inference servers, AI is rapidly becoming a key component in our data center infrastructure, and it's an amazing thing to see! I think we all realized this in the last month, and most of our customers and partners have already taken action and are transforming at a rapid pace! 👉 But let me put this in perspective for you. This shift is not just incremental—it's revolutionary! AI is rapidly expanding, and we're seeing a shift towards higher rack power densities—a game-changer for data center design and management! And this evolution is a game-changer for everyone, no matter your size or industry! It doesn't matter if you're an • AI start-up, • A global enterprise, • A colocation provider, • Or an internet giant —this is something we all need to pay attention to! 𝗪𝗵𝘆? Because the impact on data center physical infrastructure is profound, and it's crucial to understand and adapt to these changes—and it's an exciting time for data centers. 👉 I'm absolutely thrilled to share a comprehensive paper that delves into the incredible attributes and trends of AI workloads, and the resulting challenges for data centers. It provides invaluable guidance on how to tackle these challenges across key infrastructure categories like power, cooling, racks, and software management. Embrace these changes and drive innovation in our data centers! 🚀 Also take a look at the Video. #AI #DataCenters #Innovation #TechTrends #Infrastructure

The CEO of DigitalBridge has cited that edge compute will be up and running by the end of the decade, emphasizing the need to integrate it into our design strategies now. As the AI landscape expands, the demand for compute power continues to grow. Edge computing stands out by providing reduced latency, which is crucial for the efficiency of generative AI applications. At #DatacloudUSA, we’re thrilled to host an expert-led panel of senior leaders to assess the importance of edge computing, and share insights on how your organization can better future-proof its infrastructure for a sustainable future. 📌 Panel Disucssion: Data Centers at the Edge 📆 Tuesday, September 17, 2024 2:210 PM Join the discussion as we delve into: 👉 What does this new infrastructure look like? 👉 How will operators adapt current centers? 👉 When will this truly take off? Meet the panel 🎙️ 🎤 Amber Caramella, Chief Revenue Officer, Netrality Data Centers Jonathan Eaves, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Edge Centres Luis Carlos Rojas Kruse, Chief Executive Officer, ADN Datacenters Ken Kremer, Chief Technology Officer, ark data centers Andrew Lipman, Partner, Morgan, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP View the full agenda here: http://spr.ly/6041ctrzH #EdgeComputing #AI #DataCenters #DatacloudUSA #techoraco

Great seeing you all at The Rise of AI "Cloud and Data Center Infrastructure in the AI Era" at the Savoy in London yesterday. Stelia CEO Tobias Hooton discussed why the current version of the Internet is no longer fit for purpose and how data centre operators can front-run the data mobility challenges brought by AI. Our CCO Dan Scarbrough chaired two separate panels “How can data center operators in Europe effectively scale to meet the rising demand for AI and cloud workloads?” and “Will intention outpace your ability to fully adopt and integrate AI into your operations?” with Dave Strong, Director, Advisory & Professional Services, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Adrienne Jan, Chief Product Officer, Scaleway, Patrick W., HPC/AI Solutions Director, Ori and  David Hughes, VP of Engineering, Genesis Cloud.
