Extended read
As AI workloads shift from training to inference, the heat generated by high-density clusters is forcing a transition to liquid cooling. Alphabet's Brazos system is particularly notable as it allows legacy data centers to upgrade without full rebuilds. Super Micro's $39 billion backlog highlights the scale of this infrastructure cycle.
