REPLAY | Uptime Intelligence Client Webinar: Can today’s data centers handle tomorrow’s workloads?

This client webinar examined survey findings on how data center operators are adapting to the demands of AI, density, and cooling, among other considerations. The analysis showed that while most operators anticipated supporting AI workloads, many of those workloads were still being deployed on-premises, often on low-density IT. The discussion also focused on the transition toward liquid cooling, balanced against the continued viability of air-cooled chips, or lack thereof. These findings reflected the practical tradeoffs operators are facing as infrastructure strategies continue to evolve.

The session also addressed the drivers behind direct liquid cooling deployments, the fact that nearly half of operators were building or upgrading for high-density IT, and the increasing importance of capacity planning. Together, these survey-based insights provided a data-backed perspective on how the industry is preparing for emerging workload demands and the future realities of data center infrastructure.
