Capacity Planning Welcome Lunch - by invitation only

Build, build, build! The era of AI is here and the data center industry is seeing unprecedented pressures on infrastructure, capacity and power.

The AI wave is breaking on European shores, and while hyperscalers are investing billions in the UK and Europe through self-build and colocation, a new, almost overnight generation of high-growth GPUaaS ‘AI cloud’ providers and fast-growth AI start-ups are requiring phenomenal levels of data center capacity.

This DCD>Connect private lunch, hosted by Kao Data, the specialist developer and operator of data centers engineered for AI and advanced computing, will discuss:

  1. AI as a driver – what are we witnessing in the market today in terms of demand?
  2. AI as a changer – how are high density and liquid cooled AI deployments catalysing change across design, build and deployment
  3. AI as critical infrastructure – at a national level, how do we power and plan land provision to maintain growth, and what can we learn from Dublin?
  4. Green AI – How do we satisfy demand without threatening environmental sustainability and greenbelt land.

Join your peers and our hosts for a private lunch session focused on the future of data center capacity planning in the age of AI and the opportunities and challenges ahead.

This session is by invitation only
