There’s no question the impact Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having on the current landscape of data centers is huge. There is a monumental shift in the way data centers are thinking about these advanced workloads and a lot of the discussion is taking place among the core, larger data center operators.
However, there is one very interesting project within the EU looking at AI’s impact in smaller environments. This EU-funded ECO-Qube project will develop an AI augmented holistic management system for smaller data centers that connects cooling systems, IT loads, and electrical infrastructure with the aim of dynamically enhancing energy efficiency regarding the instant cooling requirements.
Joining me for this episode of Running on OCP is Çağatay Yılmaz, Innovation Manager at Lande, one of Turkey’s largest System Rack Cabinets and Accessories Manufacturer. Çağatay is also the coordinator of the ECO-Qube Project. He shares the vision of the project and how the consortium is working together to deliver this holistic solution for energy efficiency.
