AI-enabled data centres to change the industry

Artificial Intelligence disruption has brought significant changes and challenges in data centre design and operation. As AI applications have become more prevalent and impactful in industry sectors ranging from healthcare and finance to manufacturing, transportation, and entertainment, so has the demand for processing power. Data centres must adapt to meet the evolving power needs of AI-driven applications.

Pioneering the Future of Data Center Design

According to reports, AI workloads are projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26-36% by 2028, increasing power demand within existing and new data centres. Servicing this projected energy demand involves several critical considerations outlined in the White Paper, which addresses the four physical infrastructure categories – power, cooling, racks, and software tools. White Paper 110 is available for download here.

Schneider Electric reveals how multinationals can drive growth, skills transfer in Africa

Legit.ng reported that the outlook for data centre growth on the African continent looks bullish. With a population of almost 1.5 billion people, the African marketplace possesses a significant market size and potential advantage.

Notably, while the continent might need to catch up to countries like China and India regarding sheer population size, what sets it apart is the average age of its population, which is between 18-19 years. It is a young generation that is well-equipped to adapt to the digital environment’s continuous change.

This younger generation has a natural affinity for learning and working with technologies such as AI. This demographic advantage will fast-track Africa’s strengthening role in the global data centre marketplace.
