AI workloads push data centres to upgrade fire and cooling systems (opens original article in a new tab)

Data centres are enhancing fire safety, cooling, and electrical infrastructure to handle the rising demands of AI workloads, which involve higher value hardware and greater risks of disruption.

• Data centres are upgrading fire safety, cooling, and electrical systems due to increased AI workloads.
• AI racks contain significantly higher hardware value compared to traditional servers, increasing the stakes for outages.
• New cooling technologies like direct-to-chip liquid cooling are being adopted to manage heat from AI infrastructure.
