EP-2: Impact of AI on Data Center

Discussion with Key Data Center Expert Mr. Sanjay Kuntal who has upgraded their existing Data Center Facility in Navi Mumbai to AI ready and could make it live in shortest record time. He has shared his practical experience from Initiation, Planning, Implementation, making it live and addressing the surprises got during different stages and how he solved it.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping data center facilities by driving the need for higher computing density, greater energy efficiency, and more advanced cooling technologies. As AI workloads demand massive processing power, data centers are evolving toward specialized hardware like GPUs and accelerators, redesigned power distribution systems, and innovative cooling methods such as liquid cooling. This shift also increases the importance of automation, with AI helping optimize resource allocation, predict equipment failures, and reduce operational costs. Overall, AI is both expanding data center capacity requirements and enabling smarter, more efficient facility management.
