Generative AI and the Outlook for the Data Center Industry

Iron Mountain Data Centers (IMDC) has extensive experience in supporting both traditional Machine Learning (ML) and generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications for customers using High-Performance Compute (HPC) architectures in the data center.

Generative AI models are among the most powerful and compute-intensive applications, and require specialized infrastructure. Typically, AI applications require much higher-density power than standard customer equipment, with matching advanced cooling capability and more extensive backup resources to maintain uptime.

We created this explainer video to show the implications Generative AI has on the data center industry. Not just on the power surges, but also on the stream of E-waste that comes along with higher refresh rates of server due to higher compute intensity of GPU chips over traditional CPU's.
