Once the domain of HPC users only, high density compute, networking, and storage solutions are creating infrastructure challenges for IT and facilities ecosystems. High density is going mainstream! Businesses across verticals are rapidly accelerating the adoption of AI, IoT and 5G technologies, requiring new data center designs and infrastructure changes. In this panel discussion, experts from Cyxtera, University of Texas Arlington, and Vertiv will discuss drivers, challenges, lessons learned and solutions to enable legacy data centers, edge sites and greenfield builds to successfully manage the transition to high density air and liquid cooling solutions.
