Transformation is underway
While still early in its evolution, the impact of AI is already being felt across every industry. From finance and healthcare to manufacturing and government, AI uses cases are proliferating at an extraordinary pace.
Explore the impact of AI across key sectorsAI's economic and technological trajectory
IDC forecasts global AI IT spending to jump from $175.9 billion in 2023 to $509.1 billion in 2027, growing at a rate of 30.4% annually. Spending on AI platforms will continue to rise as they become essential for businesses' digital operations, making cloud technology a critical but supporting component of business transformation.
Analyst report: GlobalData on AI’s impact on data centers
With the explosion in the use of generative AI transforming operations across every industry, GlobalData analyzed the market and forecast global enterprise AI spend to skyrocket. Discover what that growth means for data centers in their report.

Rack density growth is taking off
Accelerated IT achitectures designed to run AI workloads are rapidly driving up the density of data center racks.
*The rack installations split by density data use rack shipments as reference and the average kW/rack is pre-determined for each density range category (i.e. <10kW, 10-20kW, etc.) to help determine the average rack density for each year.
Challenges to data centers
One thing should now be clear: the adoption of AI will not be business as usual for data designers and operators. Dense, power-hungry AI racks can stress virtually every data center system, especially legacy power and cooling infrastructure.
How to keep AI cool
Every step of the cooling process, from chip to reuse, must be carefully planned and modeled to optimize temperature, airflow, and energy efficiency.
Manage the ~5x increase in heat output from AI.
Heat removal from chip to reuse
Effective thermal management in high-density environments requires a holistic approach that encompasses the entire thermal chain – from chip to reuse. Vertiv™ solutions and expertise extend across the thermal chain, providing multiple technologies and design options at each link to tailor a complete solution to site and operator specifications, goals, and constraints.
Liquid cooling solutions
Chilled water cooling solutions
Chilled water systems provide high-efficiency air cooling that is ideal for large data centers. These systems can be configured to handle the full data center load or provide air cooling support for liquid cooling. Heat is rejected through a chiller outside the data center, which also supplies the water used by cooling units.

Direct expansion (DX) cooling
DX cooling systems provide a flexible and reliable approach to cooling the entire data center or supporting liquid cooling. In a DX system, refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and then moves it to an outside condenser, which releases the heat to the atmosphere.

Understanding the challenge of AI integration
Most data centers today weren’t designed to support the high power requirements of AI racks or effectively remove the heat they generate. The challenges posed by AI integrations can be significant, but they are solvable.
AI workloads are changing how IT is powered, increased CPU power workloads drive higher voltages in the data room all while increasing complexity and constraint on power grids.
