Vertiv boosts AI data centres with power and thermal masterclass

The Vertiv Xpress Masterclass Series is organised in association with ISHRAE, ASHRAE, and ECA. With the aim of educating experts on the importance of efficient and reliable power and thermal solutions for uninterrupted operations and optimal IT infrastructure performance. 

A global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions concluded the Vertiv Xpress Masterclass Series for Chennai, providing training on power and thermal management solutions for critical digital infrastructure. This annual initiative underlines Vertiv’s commitment to encouraging innovation and knowledge transfer within the industry. The event highlighted the importance of deploying efficient and reliable power and thermal solutions for uninterrupted operations and optimal IT infrastructure performance. It also touched upon artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on data centres.

 Over the course of the event, consulting engineers, infrastructure designers, and stakeholders from diverse sectors came together to discuss pressing issues and challenges, with the programme providing insights into critical digital infrastructure innovations and advancements that will support AI and high-performance computing (HPC) adoption. The event witnessed over 140 attendees from industries including data centers, banking, Banking services and insurance manufacturing, healthcare, and government personnel, amongst others.

The event was organised in association with several prestigious industry bodies, including ISHRAE (Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers), ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers), and ECA (Electrical Consultant Association). This collaboration provided a rich exchange of knowledge and best practices among attendees.

 Dipti Singh, director of marketing and communications at Vertiv India, said, “Efficient and reliable solutions are the backbone of modern IT data centre infrastructure. These solutions are crucial for maintaining the continuous operation and peak performance of data centres, which derives from the need to educate power and thermal consultants and their engineers in events like the AI Masterclass series. As the adoption of AI and high-performance computing grows, it pushes the boundaries of what data centres can achieve, only increasing the need for robust critical digital infrastructure. Our commitment is to provide power and thermal solutions that enable data centres to operate seamlessly and support the evolving needs of challenging AI workloads.”
