At beginning of July part of our LDC team had the opportunity to visit EATON – Eaton House in Dublin to exchange insights and discuss the trends shaping the future of digital infrastructure.
One thing is clear: The rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally transforming our industry. AI workloads are driving an unprecedented surge in power demand, while new chip architectures push the limits of compute density. This brings both exciting opportunities and significant challenges for data center design and operations.
Key takeaways from today’s discussions included:
⚡ Increased power density in the white space is reshaping power distribution requirements.
⚡ Grid constraints and long permitting processes threaten time-to-market advantages.
⚡ Power availability risks, with projections showing constraints for up to 40% of new projects by 2027.
⚡ Inflexible designs lead to costly rebuilds instead of agile, incremental upgrades.
⚡ The growing pressure from sustainability regulations, such as Germany’s 100% renewable energy mandate for data centers.
We appreciate Eaton’s expertise and their commitment to tackling these challenges alongside industry partners. Collaboration, innovation, and forward-thinking design will be key to keeping pace with this transformation and collaboration.
Let’s keep pushing boundaries to build smarter, greener, and more resilient data centers for the digital future! 🌍💡
