Investments back two-phase cooling as water cold plate successor
Direct liquid cooling (DLC) has attracted significant investment over the past two years, driven largely by the massive buildout of dense AI training clusters. In
US data center critics pivot from moratoria to regulations
In April 2026, the US state of Maine’s governor vetoed a state-level data center moratorium bill, the latest in a series of similar regulatory actions
Enterprises will deploy inference in-house — if they can
The development of large language models (LLMs) is a complex process, requiring specialized infrastructure and skills, as well as the ability to differentiate the result
Capacity allocation and the next generation of AI-era KPIs
AI workloads are reshaping data center infrastructure at an unprecedented scale. Rack densities exceeding 50 kW are becoming increasingly common. AI training clusters often operate
Project approval will hinge on local benefit guarantees
In January 2026, more than 230 US-based advocacy groups signed a letter urging the US Congress to impose a complete moratorium on data center construction,
Liquid cooling will not outgrow its high-density niche
Deployment of direct liquid cooling (DLC, as cold plate or immersion systems) remains overwhelmingly concentrated in applications where air cooling is no longer a practical
As emissions soar, operators look to carbon capture
During 2024 and 2025, a new trend emerged: many large data center builders and operators reported increases in their Scope 2, location- and market-based greenhouse
AI in data: sorting reality from hallucination
Many people do not use the term artificial intelligence correctly: vendors, investors, and even some operators label everything from basic automation scripts to deep learning
AI and cooling: toward more automation
AI is increasingly steering the data center industry toward new operational practices, where automation, analytics and adaptive control are paving the way for “dark” —
