Why data centre cooling must be considered at the planning and design stage of every data centre project
The UK data centre sector is expanding rapidly. Demand for cloud services, AI workloads, high-performance computing and digital infrastructure continues to grow, placing increasing pressure on developers, consultants, contractors and procurement teams to deliver facilities that are efficient, resilient and future-ready.
While considerable attention is given to power availability, resilience and IT capacity, cooling strategies are often treated as a secondary consideration.
