In the Spotlight… Solving the data centre power challenge with RSE’s Peter Glenn

RSE’s Peter Glenn explores on-site generation options and the factors data centre developers must consider as grid constraints continue.

Engineering uptime in high density data centre cooling

With AI increasing data centre cooling demands, Innomotics explores how integrated motor and drive design can help.

Trend Report: From backup to backbone – why battery strategy is changing in 2026

Racks drawing 132 kW today and pushing towards 1 MW tomorrow are redefining how data centres think about resilience. Cooling can no longer rely on thermal ride-through, which means UPS systems must now safeguard pumps, CDUs and controls as well as IT loads. The result: cooling and power are converging into one integrated design challenge.

A cleaner start: Why pipework preparation is critical to liquid cooling performance

Before liquid cooling systems go live, pipework must be properly prepared to prevent debris, contamination and avoidable commissioning issues.

Establishing reliable standards for direct-to-chip cooling

Cooling is a mission-critical system that directly impacts performance, uptime, and operational efficiency. Direct-to-chip liquid cooling is the solution.

How to build reliable liquid cooling systems

Ecolab's Bob Walicki explains how effective commissioning can create the foundation for reliable, long-term liquid cooling operations.

Faster asset audits and interventions

As data centres become denser, smarter labels, QR codes and RFID can speed audits, reduce errors and keep physical assets aligned with DCIM databases.

Why on-site power assembly no longer makes sense

AVK’s Haydock facility takes data centre power assembly and testing off site, helping operators deliver AI-ready capacity faster with less disruption.
