AI embraces liquid cooling, but enterprise IT is slow to follow
The enthusiasm for generative AI is attracting serious investment, and the associated power and cooling requirements will pose a significant challenge for the data centers
Outage data shows cloud apps must be designed for failure
One of the most significant differences between cloud and traditional (i.e., non-cloud) software is how resiliency is built into the applications. When architecting a cloud
Cloud a viable choice amidst uncertain AI returns
Generative AI has created a surge in demand for large-scale clusters of GPUs. AI models need training, and this is vastly accelerated by using GPUs.
