Future-Proof or Fall Behind: How Smarter Data Center Design Will Define the AI Era

Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries across the globe. At the center of this transformation is the data center. The rise of AI brings a rise in agentic AI systems: applications that are not just responding to commands, but initiating actions, making decisions, and running continuous processes in the background. This level of computing activity means exponentially higher energy loads, sustained power demand, and the need for rapid data processing and thermal management. The next generation of data centers must be more than just high-tech. They must be resilient, sustainable, and built with long-term adaptability in mind.
