Next-level cooling for AI data centers: warm-water liquid loops, heat as a resource, and why control strategy becomes the differentiator
An etalytics perspective on AI factories and “Grid to Token” operations: After NVIDIA’s CES announcement – and across many conversations with customers and partners at PTC’26 in Honolulu – one point kept repeating: AI data centers are moving toward warm-water, liquid-dominant cooling, but the sites that win won’t be the ones with the flashiest loops. They’ll be the ones that can adapt control strategies fastest when constraints change.
