Services set to define the data centre landscape

Phil Cullerton, VP Services EMEA at Vertiv, explains why services will define the future of the data centre. The future of the data centre is not just about who builds fastest, it is about who operates best. And in this evolving landscape of digital transformation / AI density, tightening regulation, stretched supply chains and rising expectations, digital infrastructure services are the differentiator. If you are an operator, the question is no longer whether to invest in services, it is whether you can afford not to.

Orchestrating a renewable future

Wannie Park, CEO/founder of LG NOVA-backed PADO, an intelligent energy orchestration platform for data centres, discusses the power consumption pressures of the data centre sector, with renewables offering a way forward - but many data centres don't know how to effectively manage and embed them into existing infrastructure. Wannie explains the technical challenges that come with renewable integration, why investing in new buildout is not sustainable long-term, and best practices for data centres to operate within existing energy constraints amid slow-moving AI regulation and consumer concern.

Collaboration to develop smaller data centres for the AI era

Ben Sooter, Director of Agentic AI Initiatives & Distributed AI Architecture at EPRI, and Bal Aujla, Director, Head of Advanced Research and Engineering, InfraPartners, discuss the collaboration between EPRI, Prologis, NVIDIA, and InfraPartners to study smaller-scale data centres designed for distributed inference. The collaborators will assess the deployment of micro data centres - ranging from 5 to 20 megawatts - at or near utility substations with available grid capacity that can be quickly set up. The goal is to bring inference capabilities - the process of generating real-time responses from trained models - closer to where data is generated and consumed, while making better use of underutilised infrastructure and reducing pressure on congested transmission systems.

Waste heat from data centres could heat over 3.5 million UK homes

Simon Kerr, head of heat networks at EnergiRaven, discusses the recent analysis from EnergiRaven and Viegand Maagøe finds that projected growth in data centres will produce enough waste heat to warm millions of homes in the UK by 2035 – if the infrastructure is in place to take advantage of it. Simon goes on to explain how the UK risks missing out on a major source of low-cost home heating if it fails to invest in the Heat Highways needed to capture waste heat from the next generation of data centres.
