9:00 am Check-In & Morning Coffee
Workshop A
10:00 am Comparing Electrical Topologies to Optimize Cost, Efficiency & Uptime for Critical Systems
- Looking at different ways to set up a data center’s power system e.g. how electricity flows, how backup works and which designs make the most sense for high-density environments
- Breaking down the trade-offs between cost, efficiency and uptime, including what you gain (or don’t) from more redundancy and added equipment
- Exploring whether certain designs truly perform better to choose the right setup based on reliability goals, budget and performance requirements
12:00 pm Lunch Break & Networking
Workshop B
1:00 pm Maintaining Flexibility in Electrical Designs to Future-Proof Systems Amidst Rapidly Changing Technologies
- Evaluating strategies for future proofing critical electrical and power systems when customer needs are unknown at the start to enable scalable deployments that support any mix of AI, cloud or hybrid workloads
- Identifying design approaches with adaptable layouts and scalable infrastructure to accommodate equipment transitions and technology migrations over a 5–10-year facility lifecycle
- Addressing the need for standardized yet flexible electrical designs to support diverse customer requirements
3:00 pm Afternoon Refreshments & Networking Break
Audience Discussion
3:30 pm Designing for Dynamic AI Workloads to Ensure Scalable High-Density Deployments & Proper Electrical Design
- Understanding how rapidly evolving AI workloads and fluctuating rack densities impact electrical design
- Evaluating strategies to design backwards from evolving chip and rack technologies to ensure deployments remain viable as requirements shift
- Identifying approaches to prepare electrical and structural systems for increasing density without compromising reliability or schedule
- Improving communication and alignment between hyperscalers, colocators, engineers and other project partners to respond effectively to evolving needs
