HostDime’s high density data centers, including their new flagship facility in Orlando, are setting industry design standards that will power the new era of infrastructure needed for Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) technologies, and other high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. These next-gen data centers boast an astonishing power density of up to 100kW per rack, a significant leap from the traditional 3kW to 20kW in legacy data centers.
AI has transcended its status as a buzzword and has quickly become a transformative force across industries. For AI to achieve its potential, it requires massive computational power. Complex neural networks and deep learning algorithms require specialized high-performance hardware, including CPU’s, GPUs, and TPUs, optimized for parallel processing, complex modeling, and accelerated training. Suddenly the industry as a whole is rethinking how data centers are designed. A new generation of purpose-built data centers is the only way to power this new wave of hardware infrastructure.
Addressing this need head-on, ahead of the market, is HostDime’s hyper-edge, Tier IV data center design, which is being deployed at the global edge with immediate deployments in Latin America (most recently in Colombia) and at their flagship facility in Florida. HostDime’s leap to up to 100kW signifies a remarkable advancement that directly addresses the energy demands of AI/ML/HPC workloads. This state-of-the-art Orlando data center brings to market much-needed high-power-density inventory while reducing dependency on data center infrastructures in traditional major metro markets that are struggling to keep up with demand. This infrastructure demand is also being seen at the global edge where HostDime will continue to deploy its next-gen Tier IV design.
HostDime’s modular Tier IV design incorporates a high watt-per-square-foot density along with supplemental in-row cooling capabilities that work in parallel with direct-to-chip cooling technologies. The design also incorporates precise cooling-efficient cold aisle containment at every data hall. HostDime’s flagship Orlando data center also has designated data halls created specifically for immersive cooling hardware. Immersive cooling is widely becoming a necessity in the new wave of data center build-outs.
Another design aspect that needs to be re-thought is the significant increase in fiber optic connectivity that these new technologies demand. It is expected that to accommodate AI applications, data centers will need to incorporate at least five times more fiber infrastructure density. Accommodation for such fiber density isn’t possible with current data center designs. HostDime’s design is a game-changer in this category as we designed six manhole entries into the facility with 48 x 4″ conduits coming into 3 diverse MMR rooms to ensure enough redundancy and density to provide entry to over 100+ carriers. With FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) being penetrated more in more in the market, we see a world where every home is connected via fiber to data centers. This will solve the massive throughput of bandwidth these technologies will need to serve the users.
HostDime’s commitment to building the next generation of purpose-built data centers is embodied by their standard Tier IV design – the pinnacle of reliability. This designation signifies fault tolerance and redundancy at every level, allowing HostDime to offer 100% uptime SLA’s. Such data center infrastructure is imperative for supporting critical AI workloads that require uninterrupted availability to perform mission-critical tasks.
As AI continues to reshape businesses as we know it, the role of data centers cannot be overstated. This new Central Florida data center, which will be commissioned in Q1 2024, is poised to meet the skyrocketing demands of the AI revolution. The future is AI-powered, and HostDime’s global edge data centers are the gateway to that future.
