Source: Power, water and place: what makes the optimal data center location? | Andrew DesRochers
—
As AI demand continues to grow, so does the public scrutiny of the data centres that provide it.
With more data centres being built to meet that demand, running these facilities efficiently has never been more important. Communities are also increasingly asking what impact this infrastructure will have on local resources, while misinformation and conflicting claims around the topic can make it difficult to separate fact from fiction.
This week on Technology Now, Andrew DesRochers, Principal Technologist for Sustainable Transformation at HPE, joins the show to discuss:

• How cooling techniques are evolving to meet AI demands
• Why it’s necessary for IT companies to foster a transparent relationship with the public
• What the next generation of data centres might look like
