Managing direct liquid cooling deployment risks in AI data centres
Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure has arrived, and with it comes a new reality. Power-hungry chips like NVIDIA’s Blackwell have pushed traditional air cooling beyond its limits. Indeed, rack densities are rising from 20 kW to more than 140 kW. The 1 MW milestone is also approaching. As a result, the industry is now moving into the liquid cooling deployment phase for AI workloads.
Digital future – why cyber resilience matters?
South Africa's data centre sector is expanding rapidly. New investment is creating opportunities for economic growth, digital innovation and regional connectivity. It is also positioning the country as a strategic hub for Africa's digital economy. The country now hosts nearly half of Africa's data centre capacity. The local market is projected to grow from US$2.16 billion in 2024 to US$3.40 billion by 2030.
Evolving data centres for an AI-driven future
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) disruptions of the past few years have only been the prologue to what is coming in 2026: AI’s full integration into data centre processes and builds. It is a moment we have been building towards since OpenAI’s ChatGPT brought Artificial Intelligence into the mainstream in late 2022. That launch sent shockwaves through academia, mental health care and every type and size of business.
