How liquid cooling is redefining data center efficiency beyond PUE

|
By Christopher Leonard, Thomas Humphrey, Greg Alexander
| Data Center Dynamics Verified
For years, efficiency was measured one way. It worked until AI changed the equation. Traditional efficiency metrics don't tell the full story. Liquid cooling is becoming the default for AI infrastructure, but the way we measure efficiency requires tracking data center efficiency metrics beyond Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), which only captures energy overhead. AI demands a different question: How much compute does that energy actually produce?

Which is right for AI data centers in 2026

|
By Greg Alexander, Thomas Humphrey, Kyle Geib
| Data Center Dynamics Verified
Thermal management is a priority as data centers race to add AI capacity. Operators are weighing the pros and cons of single-phase vs. two-phase direct liquid cooling solutions as they seek a quick, effective approach. Single-phase cold plate cooling is the default choice and likely to dominate in the next five to ten years because it's easier to deploy, costs less, and aligns with future silicon roadmaps.

The case for prefabricated AI pods

|
By Thomas Humphrey, Kyle Geib, Kevin Brown
| Data Center Dynamics Verified
The magnitude of demand for AI has surprised everyone. McKinsey predicts that global demand for AI capacity could triple by 2030. And it's created some challenges for data center operators, who are rushing to modernize power and cooling infrastructure to support the technology. One way to accelerate data center deployments is through AI pods - prefabricated infrastructure blocks that contain all the power and cooling required for AI. Speed to market: What's the rush?
