Panel: We are at an Inflection Point-Direct Liquid Cooling

The pandemic provided time to reflect on direct adiabatic cooling of hyperscale and other data centers. The cost to move the high quantities of air are at their highest point. Anecdotal data suggests the high volumes of outside air are contributing to higher server failure rates. A major manufacturer of IT equipment is now offering a complete direct liquid cooling solution. The panel will have a frank discussion of the state of the industry, and open questions from the audience.
