Data Center Dialogues

What does data center infrastructure management look like in the age of AI-driven power, density, and heat challenges? In this episode of Data Center Dialogues, host Alison Matte speaks with Himamshu Prasad, SVP of EcoStruxure IT Solutions at Schneider Electric, about how DCIM is evolving from a monitoring tool into a strategic platform. They explore how modern DCIM connects power, cooling, space,...

Inference was once expected to be the easier side of AI infrastructure. Training needed the specialized clusters, extreme compute, and unusual power and cooling profiles. Inference, by contrast, was expected to fit more comfortably into traditional data center environments. But that assumption is changing. In this episode of Data Center Dialogues, Alison Matte is joined by Wendy Torell, Senior Res...

Why is the industry moving away from reactive or calendar-based maintenance toward AI-driven condition-based strategies? In this episode of Data Center Dialogues, Alison Matte is joined by Cristene Gonzalez Wertz, Director and Managing Editor of Data Center Research & Strategy, to dive into a topic that’s transforming how data centers operate: AI-driven condition-based maintenance. Follow the...

Liquid cooling isn’t brand-new, but it’s clearly getting a lot more attention right now. What’s changed in data centers that’s driving the adoption? In this episode of Data Center Dialogues, Alison Matte is joined by Wendy Torell, Senior Research Analyst at Schneider Electric, and Maria Torres Arango, Research Analyst at Schneider Electric, to unveil ten practical ways to harness energy and water...

Why is AI such a disruptive force for data center design compared to traditional workloads?  In this episode of Data Center Dialogues, Alison Matte is joined by Victor Avelar, Senior Research Analyst at Schneider Electric, to unpack how six AI attributes are changing data center design: from power density to cooling and sustainability. Follow the discussion: Why AI changes the game for power, cool...
