The AI revolution is here and it's hungry for power, space and cooling that most data centers simply weren't built to provide. This isn't about future proofing. It's about survival in a landscape where power demands are skyrocketing beyond what most facilities were ever designed to handle.
Traditional cooling systems are buckling under the heat of AI workloads. And the intricate dance of space, cabling and latency is more complex than ever before. So how do you feed this voracious appetite for resources? What does it really take to build an AI-ready data center?
In this episode of WWT Presents: Research, WWT Chief Technical Advisor Don Molaro and Facilities Infrastructure Technical Solutions Architect Mike Parham cut through the hype and offer practical insights on how to prepare your data centers for the AI workloads that are reshaping our digital world.
Realistically, almost no corporate data centers are prepared for these kinds of AI workloads at scale. We're working very closely with our who are looking at retrofitting environments…
-Chief Technology Advisor Don Molaro
This episode of WWT Presents: Research is based on the WWT Research report Facilities Infrastructure Priorities in the Age of AI, which explores the critical steps facilities infrastructure leaders must take to ensure their data centers are optimized for AI—from assessing power requirements and prioritizing advanced cooling solutions to designing efficient layouts and implementing sustainable practices.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
