Should You Dust or Vacuum First?

Available to purchase at.Although it is a long-established sector, bringing together experts from multiple leading players in the data centre world was experimental.In an exponentially growing and highly competitive industry, it is not normal for a diverse group from across the industry to come together and share problems and ideas..
But this is exactly the group that convened at Accelerate Data Centres, London, in January 2025..The density debate.The conversation started by discussing the trends in data centre density..
Driven by the relentless development of CPU and GPU processing power, the need for ever greater power and cooling density at rack level continues to increase exponentially.Data processed has roughly doubled every two years from 2 zettabytes in 2010 to 149 zettabytes in 2024, and the trend continues.
It was suggested that the increase in processor power will lead to rack density increasing, with the 1MW rack already being envisaged..
The change at processor/rack level density is accelerating at a rate that brings challenges to construction project delivery.We designed the building, it went out to tender and is currently in construction.
It’s due to be completed later this year, with commissioning taking until 2023.We are continuing to work on the project as Design Guardian.. A complete mechanical and electrical engineering solution.
Over the years, design and build of complex facilities has become piecemeal.Contracts are split up between designers and contractors, and everyone tries to minimise or pass on risk.
