Power constraints and rising rack densities are forcing colocation providers to rethink how they grow. This IES whitepaper explores how targeted retrofits can unlock capacity, improve efficiency and extend the value of existing data center infrastructure.
It examines how operators can assess existing facilities for AI-readiness, from power distribution and cooling architecture to floor loading, connectivity and resilience.
You can also explore the role of phased upgrades, hybrid cooling strategies and dynamic simulation in comparing potential interventions, modelling real-world operating conditions and validating performance before capital is committed.
The key topics covered in this whitepaper also include:
Unlocking capacity without relying on new grid connections
