Data Center Trends: What’s Hot (and What’s Not)

Описание: Hot or Not is Back! And this time, we’re taking it into the world of data centers.

Charlie, Dan, and Producer Elena rapid-fire their way through some of the biggest trends shaping today’s data center landscape, giving each one a simple verdict: HOT (we’re into it) or NOT (hard pass).

From microgrids to underwater data centers to the future of cooling, the team breaks down what’s exciting, what’s emerging, and what might just be overhyped. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it’s packed with smart takes from the field.

Topics we hit:
Are microgrids actually the future? Or just a temporary fix?
Underwater data centers - legit idea or overhyped sci-fi?
Does air cooling still have a place in AI environments?
Should utilities prioritize renewable interconnections for data center loads? - Are data centers the new monuments of our time?
