Generative AI demand has ballooned, and the impact on the industry is clearly illustrated by Nvidia's announcement that their data centre revenues have risen over 400% on last year. Specifically for the continent, it is projected that AI will contribute an estimated $1.2 trillion to GDP by 2030, but applications are compute intensive and power hungry. In order to get it right and reap bottom-line benefits, data centre operators need to design and build for the future. This forward-thinking panel will navigate the challenges and share how to enable and harness the transformative potential of AI for sustainable growth in Africa:
- How are operators designing and building for the future?
- What trends and strategies are emerging regarding rack densities?
- How other enterprise use-cases such as blockchain and fintech impacting capacity planning?
