VANCOUVER, BC, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group – With the rise of the
artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, so too comes a massive
increase in energy consumption, drawn by thousands of computers in
data centers across the world. According to the International
Energy Agency (IEA), global data center electricity demand will
more than double from 2022 to 2026, with AI playing a major
role in that increase. It's because of this, there is already
skepticism growing over if AI's insatiable energy demand will
jeopardize Big Tech's climate goals, as it wreaks havoc on
global power systems. Working to address these concerns are several
players in the AI data center space developing potential solutions,
including from Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI),
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ:
SMCI), Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), and Vertiv
Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT).
Stepping up to answer one of the major concerns of the AI data
center demand issue is Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:
AVAI), which recently gave an update of its planned
state-of-the-art data centers, outfitted with immersible AI
supercomputer servers. Their offering specifically addresses a
number of unmet needs in the AI and big data industry's rapid
growth, while also answering key sustainability and infrastructure
concerns in the communities they reside in.
"Avant expects to lead the way in providing distributed
submerged infrastructure solutions," said William Hisey, CEO of Avant. "With a
commitment to innovation and sustainability, the use of
high-performance immersible computer servers allows Avant to
address the complex challenges of the digital era with cutting-edge
solutions while keeping the communities we operate in satisfied
that we are committed to green energy facilities."
As more data centers are being planned and built, communities
throughout the country, where these facilities are being developed,
are frustrated by the sheer size of some projects and the amount of
power that large- scale centers and campuses require. Avant
is set to deliver the ultimate in cost-effective, energy-efficient,
high-density supercomputing. Their innovative solutions are
designed to meet the current and future needs of AI and big data
while maintaining a commitment to eco-friendliness.
Avant's high-density cloud infrastructure will be
tailored to address the increasing performance and storage needs of
clients in SaaS, AI, machine learning, and big data across various
industries. They plan to develop and construct numerous smaller
data centers nationwide. Given that data centers are significant
energy consumers, with a hyperscaler's data center using as much
power as 80,000 households, Avant's strategic approach
ensures efficient and scalable solutions.
"Efficient cooling is therefore a crucial driver of a data
center's profitability," said Hisey. ". "Cooling accounts for some
40% of a data center's energy consumption. To that end,
Avant will take advantage of cooling and energy efficiency
technologies to reduce costs for clients and remain energy
efficient.
This offering comes after Avant recently entered into a
Binding Letter of Intent (BLOI) with Flow Wave, LLC
(FW), a prominent Florida-based firm specializing in immersible
computer server technology. The agreement allows for Avant
to acquire up to 50 cutting-edge immersible computer servers from
FW, in a transaction valued at $50
million.
The concept of cooling with liquids is also being implemented
through a joint effort by Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA)
and Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) for
liquid-cooled "Gigafactory" AI data centers. The respective
companies' CEOs Elon Musk and
Charles Lian are looking to "lead
the liquid cooling technology to large AI data centers," with Liang
estimating the impact of the move "may lead to preserving 20
billion trees for our planet."
Supermicro's liquid cooling technology will be
implemented in Tesla's latest cluster, as well as
xAI's similar supercomputer. Supermicro claims direct
liquid cooling may offer up to an 89% reduction in electricity
costs of cooling infrastructure compared to air cooling. The new
expansion to the existing Gigafactory will accommodate 50,000
Nvidia GPUs along with additional Tesla AI hardware to
enhance the training capabilities for Tesla's Full
Self-Driving feature.
Another large global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data
center, colocation, and interconnection solutions that's moving
towards liquid cooling is Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:
DLR). Back in May, Digital Realty announced the
availability of groundbreaking liquid-to-chip cooling technology to
be available in 170 of its data centers globally. According to the
company's press release, this innovative advancement represents a
"significant leap forward in addressing the evolving challenges of
managing high-density workloads, particularly in the real of AI and
data-intensive applications."
Digital Realty's latest offering builds on the company's
standardized high-density colocation services by introducing direct
liquid cooling (DLC). This innovation brings liquid directly to
customers' infrastructure, enhancing relevance and versatility to
meet the growing demands of emerging AI technologies. Their
solution is crafted for flexibility and accessibility, offering
deployment options in over half of its data centers globally. Plans
are underway to extend support to more locations and utilize
existing infrastructure to accommodate emerging AI needs.
"We're proud to align with our customers in evolving their
infrastructure to support this cutting-edge liquid-to-chip
technology, enabling them to land and expand their deployments
efficiently and redefine what's possible in the digital age," said
Chris Sharp, Chief Technology
Officer of Digital Realty. "With this cutting-edge
liquid-to-chip cooling technology, we're not just setting a new
standard for high-density deployment support, we're revolutionizing
the digital infrastructure landscape."
Another strategy being implemented to address data center energy
demands includes the latest from Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:
VRT) which involves a strategic technology partnership with
Ballard Power Systems to support alternative energy usage
for data centers. As per the deal, the duo will focus on backup
power applications for data centres and critical infrastructures,
scalable from 200kW to multiple MWs.
"The unprecedented adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and
high-performance computing (HPC) are driving a need for
eco-friendly power solutions for our customers, with a focus on
zero-carbon and low-carbon energy alternatives," said Viktor Petik, Vice President of Vertiv
Infrastructure Solutions. "The successful fuel cell
proof-of-concept with Ballard provides a viable option for
customers strengthening their data center sustainability strategy,
and those moving to a future-ready Bring Your Own Power (BYOP)
model."
Vertiv's Power Module H2 offers a solution for the
increasing energy demands of future data centers while ensuring
zero GHG emission backup power generation. This prefabricated and
factory-tested system provides a rapidly deployable and scalable
power infrastructure for new data centers and the ability to
retrofit existing sites without redesigning the electrical
infrastructure.
At their Delaware, Ohio facility, Vertiv showcased their
Power Module H2 solution, which uses industry-ready components.
This system integrates two Ballard PowerGen 200kW fuel cell
cabinets to power a fully functional decarbonized backup
system.
