The competition to construct data centers that can support AI and high-density computing needs is fierce, and CyrusOne is at the forefront of redefining scalable data center design with its innovative Intelliscale approach. Intelliscale was designed with adaptability in mind, allowing infrastructure to evolve alongside changing requirements without the need for costly reboots.
According to Dell’Oro Group, AI workloads will demand up to 120 kW/rack, significantly higher than the 15W/rack needed for normal cloud workloads. CyrusOne’s Intelliscale data centers are specifically designed to accommodate these extreme dense deployments, offering scalability, flexibility, and reliability while occupying only a fraction of the space of traditional data centers.
Tom Kingham, Vice President of Engineering & Utilities, Europe at CyrusOne, emphasizes the importance of designing data centers that can meet current demands while also being flexible enough to adapt to future needs. The modular approach of Intelliscale allows for rapid response to changing customer demands without requiring a complete overhaul of existing equipment.
Kingham also highlights the potential of liquid cooling for GPUs in AI infrastructure, which can reduce the need for traditional cooling methods and result in greater energy efficiency. He emphasizes the industry’s focus on energy efficiency and community impact, citing CyrusOne’s partnership with E.ON to provide power, cooling, and heat to surrounding buildings.
As the demand for energy continues to grow, Kingham acknowledges the importance of increasing efficiency and giving back to the community. CyrusOne is committed to transparent energy sourcing and is actively seeking ways to provide heat to local consumers in areas where traditional networks are not available.
Kingham will be speaking at Data Centre Expo Europe in Amsterdam, where he will discuss the latest developments in data center design and energy efficiency. To learn more about cloud computing and cybersecurity, attendees can also explore the upcoming Cyber Security & Cloud Expo events in Amsterdam, California, and London.
