A NEW FRONTIER FOR THE DATA CENTER:
THE IMPACT OF AI, ML, AND IOT ON POWER DISTRIBUTION Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Big Data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) – everywhere you turn, the data center industry is actively talking about how the applications that depend on these technologies will impact it today and beyond.

For this digital future to fully come to fruition, data centers must plan how to increase power densities by transforming their existing facilities and/or outfitting new ones for higher-density deployments, optimized efficiency, elevated reliability and resiliency, and enhanced sustainability.

From hyperscale facilities to edge data centers to any other area where mission-critical IT infrastructure is placed, the need for more efficient and high-density operations has never been more critical. That said, everything about the data centers of the future comes back to the power equation where power quality and power distribution make up the bedrock upon which the entire digital future rests. Comprehensively addressing these vital power requirements can set up forward-thinking data centers to support the digital innovations end users are increasingly adopting.
