Trend

  • High-density servers are increasingly used for AI clusters and HPC (High-Performance Computing).
  • Transitioning to modular/prefabricated data centers.
  • Growing adoption of liquid cooling methods, like direct-to-chip and immersion, to reduce power consumption and accommodate high-density setups.

Risks

  • Direct-to-chip and immersion cooling are emerging technologies lacking industry standardization.
  • Traditional air-cooled data centers will persist.
  • Transitioning from air-cooled to liquid-cooled data centers is not an immediate process and involves significant costs.
