Part 1 will be composed of a panel of experts from large Data Center operators who are facing challenges providing high powered facilities to meet demand while still being able to cool said facilities. Issues facing the industry will include build costs, technology for power production (autonomous from the grid), new cooling technologies such as liquid cooling and how that is affecting designs.
Part 2 will be vendors of new tech for producing power and cooling and where they see the industry going. This should be telling of what our industries limits will be and how that will affect the Internet when space+power+cooling capacities become limited.
Part 3 will be a panel of Server, Router and Switch vendors. This panel will talk about new power loads on their hardware, how they are reducing the loads, new cooling technologies and where they see the industry heading. This one may get heated and grilling of those vendors is expected.
