3、ndem.Data center demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22 percent and reach 220 gigawatts by 2030nearly six times larger than demand in 2020 and driven predominantly by AI adoption and hyperscaler spending.1 Moreover,McKinsey research shows that by 2030,data centers are projected to require$6.7 tr
4、illion in cumulative capital outlays worldwide to keep pace with the demand for compute.2 A large part of that capital spending will be allocated to the underlying systems that deliver electricity to IT equipment and the cooling systems that remove the heat generated by the IT equipment.As data cent
5、er designs evolve to keep up with increasing compute requirements,power,cooling,and IT components are no longer seen as separate entities;they must be codesigned and considered in the context of the holistic performance of the data center.More opportunities are opening for stakeholders across the da
