Data Center Back-up Power and AI & Edge Computing
Stephen Worn of DatacenterDynamics and Erick Soares, Senior Global Product Manager – Data Center & Renewables for C&D Technologies met for an episode of DCD > Broadcast recently. The topic was, "Optimizing back-up power systems in the age of AI and Edge computing."
How AI and Edge computing are impacting back-up power in data centers
In the 22-minute discussion, Erick Soares walked viewers through the dramatic growth of AI and Edge computing and the impact this growth has had on power quality, power availability, sustainability, and data center costs. He explains how Total Cost of Ownership, or TCO, has become a critical factor when calculating the financial impact of data center battery back-up. AI and Edge computing are reshaping the requirements for backup power systems.
