As a result, the data center is heating up, and air-based cooling has hit the end of the road. Hyperscalers are no longer asking themselves whether they should use liquid cooling; instead, they want to know which technology to use and how fast they can get up and running. This article takes a deep dive into the various options available today so you can make the best decision for your particular application.
