Data Center Revolution

NOTE

Embrace High Power Density for Optimal Performance

Data centers are evolving towards higher power densities, moving from previous averages of around 3.4 kW to current builds of 120 or 150 kW. Historically, many operated at only 40-60% utilization while maintaining less power density, indicating an underutilization of resources. The shift necessitates a focus on latency within data centers, recognizing its critical importance for next-generation infrastructure. As demands for performance increase, embracing high power density becomes essential for optimizing operational efficiency.
