Artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and other compute-intensive workloads are imposing new demands on rapidly expanding data center infrastructure. Increasing power densities and more complex cooling architectures leave less tolerance for failure. Many existing standards address facility design or quality management for information and communications technology. However, none provides a lifecycle quality framework for suppliers…
Data center quality risk no longer stops at servers, switches, and software. As facilities scale, the risk extends into the power, cooling, and controls that keep operations online. Artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads increase power density, thermal complexity, and system interdependence, reducing tolerance for variation in infrastructure quality. This shift exposes a gap, as…
