Will data centers become Generative AI factories?

The interaction between artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers has become increasingly evident. The next stage of the AI revolution is for applications to become integrated across multiple industries. As this continues, the demand for efficient handling of AI workloads will sit alongside data processing and storage.  This creates unique challenges for data centers.

To begin with, many data centres are unready for AI. The evolution of AI necessitates data centers to reevaluate their infrastructure with an emphasis on scalability, computational power, and energy efficiency. Traditional data centers often struggle to meet these demands due to their  power topology designs and limited capacity for handling AI workloads.

Recently, Jensen Huang CEO Nvidia said, “For the very first time, a data center is not just about computing data and storing data and serving the employees of a company. We now have a new type of data center that is about AI generation – an AI generation factory.”
