With the active integration of artificial intelligence into the business processes of companies of all sizes, the need for modernization and scaling of IT infrastructure becomes critical.
In the context of rapidly growing data volumes and increasing computational power requirements, placing high-density IT infrastructure in commercial data centers is not just a preference but a vital necessity.
Load and Forecasts for Computational Power Growth
According to JLL’s “Global Data Center Market Forecast for 2024,” the average power capacity of a server rack in data centers worldwide is currently 12.8 kW. This figure is expected to rise to 17.2 kW by 2027.
In the segment of high-density infrastructures and cloud environments, a load increase up to 48.7 kW is anticipated. These statistics highlight the growing demand for powerful computing resources, which necessitates energy efficiency and readiness for high energy consumption from data center operators.
Growth in the Digital Economy
Modern organizations must be prepared for rapid adaptation in a changing digital landscape. Commercial data centers provide flexibility, space, and scalability, allowing their clients to respond swiftly to growth rates and computing resource needs. This is particularly relevant for large enterprises striving to enhance their competitiveness and efficiency in business processes.
Protection Against Overheating
The placement of high-load servers in data centers considers the heat dissipation of the entire machine hall. Depending on the technical solutions (based on raised floors or “cool walls”), the width of cold and hot aisles can be increased to accommodate the necessary air volume. The use of low-speed ventilation (LSV) technologies allows for more effective temperature management without the need for inter-row air conditioning units. IXcellerate also implements autonomous cooling systems based on free cooling and adiabatic cooling, significantly reducing energy costs.
In our data centers, colocation is available for server infrastructure with a power load of up to 55 kW per rack. Our new facility – the MOS6 data center – with combined cooling systems, including water circuits, is at the final design stage. MOS6 will be an ideal choice for supercomputers and ultra-dense cloud infrastructures with loads starting from 60 kW.
