What will the data center of 2030 look like? How will design and technology change as AI moves to the next level?

Those are the questions that Vlad Galabov and his research team addressed at the Omdia Analyst Summit at the recent Data Center World conference. Vlad is the Senior Research Director for Enterprise Infrastructure at Omdia, one of the market intelligence services at Informa TechTarget.

At DCW we got a chance to talk with Vlad about how AI is changing the way data centers are designed and built, and how Omdia believes the market will evolve. It was an interesting conversation about AI and the road ahead. That includes a look at the growth on-site natural gas generation to support AI data centers, and how adoption of liquid cooling will scale dramatically to support high-density racks from NVIDIA.
