- Three out of four decision -makers know that AI is responsible for the additional pressure of the data center
- Renewable energy is essential, but water cooling is disapproved by one in four
- Leaders see digital twins as a “ game changer ” for innovation
New forecast research has revealed that current world data centers are pushed to their absolute limits while businesses are expanding investments in artificial intelligence and other cloud services.
Three -quarters (74%) of decision -makers indicate that IA requests have increased pressure on data centers, 86% warning that a failure to innovate could have serious to moderate consequences.
In the middle of the current battle for data centers improvements, companies are also pushing to make them more sustainable, but there remains a lot of work to do.
We have to focus on improving data centers
Nine out of 10 (88%) are now actively working to improve energy efficiency in their data center operations, but less than one in three (31%) believe they really make it enough. In addition, almost three -quarters (70%) believe that the national electrical network could be at its limit, stressing the role that more local renewable energy sources can play on these campuses.
On the subject of sustainability, one in four (26%) went so far as to say that they would never use liquid cooling, which requires large amounts of water and can often have negative impacts on neighboring societies.
However, there are many challenges preventing significant development, with leaders concerned with the cost of implementing new technologies (42%), a lack of qualified personnel (35%), an incompatibility with inherited systems (31%), uncertainty on future technologies (30%) and a little clear return on investment (33%).
Although artificial intelligence is frequently observed in assistants in natural language (56%), causing the high demand for powerful data centers, CADENCE says that it can also help solve the mounting problem. Its uses in capacity management automation (50%), forecasting demand (54%) and defect detection (60%) could play a considerable role in the development of data centers.
For the future, three out of four (73%) consider digital twins as “ game changers ” for the innovation of the data center, with four out of five (81%) already recognizing their value and one in four non-user (21%) preparing to adopt digital twins in the next 12 months.
