Sustainable capacity planning in the era of Generative AI

The Generative AI boom we witness today will bring a massive shift in data center capacity planning. The fact that GPU’s require 10-15 times the energy of traditional CPU’s, has an enormous impact driving the industry and capacity planning forward in the coming years.
