How Schneider is Preparing Data Centres for AI Heat Loads
The AI boom is transforming the data centre industry, but not in the way many expected.
While much of the attention is fixed on ever-more-powerful GPUs and hyperscale AI campuses, another battle is unfolding behind the scenes, which is the challenge of removing unprecedented amounts of heat.
As rack densities climb and liquid cooling moves into the mainstream, thermal management is becoming one of the most important pieces of data centre infrastructure.
Computex 2026: ASUS Bets Big on AI Factory Infrastructure
Training and deploying advanced AI systems now requires vast amounts of compute, power, cooling, networking and storage.
As organisations race to operationalise AI, the ability to build and run what NVIDIA calls "AI factories" is emerging as a critical competitive advantage.
At Computex 2026, ASUS made clear that it wants to be at the heart of that shift.
