Transitioning From Air to Liquid Cooling to Support High-Density Loads
10:50 am - Thursday 30th July 2026
- Establishing clear decision criteria for when air-cooled systems remain viable, when hybrid approaches are appropriate, and when liquid cooling becomes necessary based on rack density, efficiency limits, and system constraints
- Evaluating the effectiveness of hybrid cooling strategies in practice, including integration challenges, control interactions, and operational risks when running parallel air and liquid-cooled systems
- Preparing operations teams through structured readiness across people, processes, and tools to safely manage mixed cooling environments and ensure reliable performance during and after transition
