Malaysia has been an increasingly attractive location for DC hyperscalers, resulting in significant challenges such as increased demand in green and efficient energy and intensifying competition between DC players. The recent pandemic has further complicated constructions and fitouts due to slowed international deliveries of datacenter equipment and strict movement policies within the country. All of these aspects urge the industry to think outside the box and innovate. Join our panel to discuss the future of AI in Datacenters and how it can impact human capital, energy efficiency and cooling technology
