Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure solutions, is bringing its AI Solutions Innovation Roadshow to Johannesburg on March 25, 2025, offering enterprises vital insights into managing the unprecedented power and cooling demands of AI workloads.
As AI adoption accelerates across industries, electrical infrastructure faces unprecedented demands. New AI servers require power loads of 6-10 kW per server, significantly higher than traditional IT equipment. For electrical contractors, this presents both challenges and opportunities as facilities require substantial power infrastructure upgrades.
The one-day event will address the effects of accelerated IT and high-performance computing on data centres, focusing on the power requirements and cooling innovation necessary for these high-density deployments. Attendees will learn about practical solutions to implement these specialised electrical systems and gain insights into the continuing rise of chip, server, and rack heat densities.
The roadshow will offer critical knowledge about:
- Emerging power demands for AI infrastructure
- Technical requirements for supporting high-density computing environments
- End-to-end solutions for AI workloads
- Advanced power and cooling infrastructure specifications
The Johannesburg event marks the first African stop on Vertiv's international roadshow series. The event includes networking opportunities over lunch with peers in the enterprise data infrastructure sector, allowing contractors to connect with potential clients and partners.
Presented in partnership with ITWeb, this event is designed for professionals involved in implementing and maintaining the critical electrical infrastructure that powers AI systems.
Registration for the March 25th event is now open.
