Vertiv at DCD Cooling Week
AI-driven density is changing cooling requirements in some applications, but not every AI deployment requires an immediate technology shift.
This discussion will explore the technical and operational boundaries of established air-cooling designs, where liquid cooling is being adopted, and the factors that continue to affect deployment.
Join Vertiv during DCD Cooling Week to explore how site conditions, available resources, facility infrastructure, and operational readiness factor into cooling decisions for AI-density environments.
Why attend?
This episode will discuss:
- What determines the appropriate cooling strategy as AI densities increase
- Where air cooling reaches its practical limits and where it remains appropriate
- Where liquid cooling is being adopted and which barriers remain
- The CapEx and OpEx considerations associated with different cooling approaches
- How workload, climate, power, water, and heat rejection affect cooling decisions
- How liquid cooling introduces considerations for integration, controls, fluid management, maintenance, and residual air cooling
- What Peak PUE, Peak WUE, and other metrics measure
- How phased and adaptable strategies can support mixed workloads and changing density requirements

Cooling at the limits: Practical decisions for AI-density infrastructure
AI-driven density is putting established cooling strategies under increasing pressure, but there is no single route forward. Operators must determine where air cooling remains appropriate, when liquid cooling is needed, and whether their facilities, teams, and suppliers are prepared for the transition. Cost is only one consideration. Workload requirements, climate, power and water availability, heat rejection, and facility readiness can influence the appropriate cooling approach for each site.
