Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced new data centre upgrades to handle the growing demands of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads while improving energy efficiency and sustainability.
At its annual event, AWS detailed innovations in power, cooling, and hardware design.
The updates, designed for global deployment, include simplified power systems, liquid cooling technology, and a modular approach that integrates both air and liquid cooling.
AWS aims to reduce mechanical energy use by 46% and carbon emissions from construction materials by up to 35%.
Additionally, its new "power shelf" system will support a 6x increase in rack power density.
AWS is also using generative AI to optimize rack layouts, boosting compute power by 12% per site.
New data centres will incorporate these technologies starting in early 2025.
