AI Driving Data Center Energy Appetite
IBM News, Friday, June 7th, 2024
As organizations scramble to integrate AI platforms into their businesses, the impact on data center energy requirements is skyrocketing, with future demand certain to rise.
The energy consumption generated by artificial intelligence (AI) workloads will have significant implications on data center design and operations.
AI workloads are typically more power-hungry compared to traditional data center workloads due to their high-performance computing requirements and specialized hardware.
A recent Gartner report estimated enterprises spent $500 billion globally on cloud infrastructure and services last year, and that number is likely to grow as resource-intensive AI services further develop.
