In the rapidly advancing digital era, Australia’s data centre landscape is on the cusp of a transformative shift, with projections indicating a market growth to $9.49 billion by 2028.
This evolution is marked by a significant move towards AI-integrated, hyperscale data
centres, underpinned by the pioneering standards of the Open Compute Project (OCP).
The surge in demand for data centres, fuelled by cloud computing, video streaming, and 5G,
is now intersecting with the critical need for artificial intelligence (AI) integration. The Open
Compute Project (OCP) underscores a future where data centres evolve into larger, liquid-
cooled hubs, designed to meet AI’s significant computational and power requirements. OCP’s innovative approach to data centre design, focusing on efficiency, scalability, and sustainability, is setting new benchmarks for the industry. By advocating for open-source hardware and optimised infrastructure, OCP is leading the way in redefining how data centres operate, making them more adaptable to the expanding requirements of AI technologies and beyond.
The future of data centres is shaped by AI, hyperscale expansion, and colocation, focusing on sustainability and efficiency. Industry leaders are preparing for this digital shift. Rittal leads this change with AI-ready solutions and advanced cooling, ready for future challenges. OCP standards guide this journey towards efficient, scalable operations, emphasising space and energy efficiency.
OCP will be on display at the upcoming Sydney Cloud & Data Centre Convention on September 12, our team will be there to answer all your questions.
