8. History and evolution of Vertiv

from The White Space: a Data Center Podcast · host Ricardo Aguirre

We will explore the fascinating journey of data center cooling, from the "computer rooms" of the 1980s where air conditioning kept the rooms "frozen" ❄️ for mainframes and analog equipment, to today’s high-efficiency and liquid cooling solutions for the era of Artificial Intelligence.Discover how companies like Liebert (founded in 1965), which was acquired by Emerson Electric in 1986 and later became Vertiv in 2016, have led this evolution. We will talk about the importance of flexibility in cooling solutions to adapt to the unpredictable demands of AI, and how the industry is adapting to new realities of density and energy efficiency.Don’t miss this conversation full of history, innovation, and the future of digital infrastructure! 💡⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Pleasesupport our sponsors:https://www.seresdc.com/https://www.noxtel.mx/
