Global survey explores networking needs for AI era

The rapid growth of AI workloads is driving a major transformation in data centre network infrastructure, with global data centre experts anticipating a significant increase in interconnect bandwidth needs over the next five years, according to a study commissioned by Ciena. The survey, conducted in partnership with Censuswide, queried more than 1,300 data centre decision-makers across 13 countries. More than half (53%) of respondents believe AI workloads will place the biggest demand on data centre interconnect (DCI) infrastructure over the next two to three years, surpassing cloud computing (51%) and big data analytics (44%). To meet surging AI demands, 43% of new data centre facilities are expected to be dedicated to AI workloads. With AI model training and inference requiring unprecedented data movement, data centre experts predict a massive leap in bandwidth needs. In addition, when asked about the needed performance of fibre optic capacity for DCI, 87% of participants believe they will need 800 Gb/s or higher per wavelength. "AI workloads are reshaping the entire data centre landscape, from infrastructure builds to bandwidth demand," says Jürgen Hatheier, Chief Technology Officer, International, Ciena. "Historically, network traffic has grown at a rate of 20-30% per year. AI is set to accelerate this growth significantly, meaning operators are rethinking their architectures and planning for how they can meet this demand sustainably.” Creating more sustainable AI-driven networks Survey respondents confirm there is a growing opportunity for pluggable optics to support bandwidth demands and address power and space challenges. According to the survey, 98% of data centre experts believe pluggable optics are important for reducing power consumption and the physical footprint of their network infrastructure. Distributed computing The survey also found that, as requirements for AI compute continue to increase, the training of Large Language Models (LLMs) will become more distributed across different AI data centres. According to the survey, 81% of respondents believe LLM training will take place over some level of distributed data centre facilities, which will require DCI solutions to be connected to each other. When asked about the key factors shaping where AI inference will be deployed, the respondents ranked the following priorities: - AI resource utilisation over time is the top priority (63%)- Reducing latency by placing inference compute closer to users at the edge (56%)- Data sovereignty requirements (54%)- Offering strategic locations for key customers (54%) Rather than deploying dark fibre, the majority (67%) of respondents expect to use Managed Optical Fibre Networks (MOFN), which utilise carrier-operated high-capacity networks for long-haul data centre connectivity. "The AI revolution is not just about compute - it’s about connectivity," adds Jürgen. "Without the right network foundation, AI’s full potential can’t be realised. Operators must ensure their DCI infrastructure is ready for a future where AI-driven traffic dominates." For more from Ciena, click here.

Data centre keeps its cool with technology from Spirotech

Spirotech, a water quality specialist, has fulfilled an order for 32 bespoke hi-flow SpiroTrap dirt separators for a data centre installation in Hertfordshire. Keeping such facilities dirt-free is critical. Spirotech worked on the project with trusted contract service partner, Engineering Support Solutions (UK), based on the Slough Trading Estate in Berkshire. ESS (UK) consulted with its prestigious data centre client and, after assessing their needs, designed the pipe connections and the bespoke sizing of the units to reduce the number of infrastructure changes to site. Spirotech supplied with this information developed the stainless-steel production units. Other specification changes included a top demountable lid for easy maintenance access and test points on inlet and outlet arms. The ‘off-the-shelf’ models are made from carbon steel and tin and are equipped with a bottom demountable lid. Lewis Hill, Managing Director of ESS (UK), comments, “After a series of design meetings, both on-site and with Spirotech, the adapted units were successfully manufactured within 22 weeks. We are extremely pleased with the outcome, as the final product is a highly effective, bespoke piece of equipment that perfectly meets the client’s needs. “The data centre has three open cooling tower systems used for cooling the data halls within the building and they had strainers in place to remove the sediment being pumped around the system. However, performing maintenance on them required shutting down the cooling system, which, as you can imagine, was far from ideal for the site. “We were pleased to have bespoke dirt separators engineered for site which has reduced down time for the client as well as provided a kit that outperforms their original design. As a business we quality assure everything we use and know that the Spirotech equipment, along with their technical ‘back-up’, won’t let us down.” Steve Simmonds, Special Projects Engineer for Spirotech, adds, “The data centre is delighted with the installation and performance of the units. They are removing much smaller particulates than before and are, as a result, making substantial savings in terms of maintenance time and money.” The bespoke SpiroTrap unit is able to remove very small particles from 5um and separates and removes dirt from the system whilst in operation. In case of severe pollution and/or maintenance, the unit is demountable and ensures no unnecessary downtime. ESS UK primarily specialises in fluid movement, and offers the support, installation, maintenance, repair of pump equipment and wet waste service. For more from Spirotech, click here.

Digital twins could be game-changer for data centre innovation

The data centre industry is on the brink of rapid transformation, driven by emerging technologies that promise to reshape its future. To assess the current ability of the data centre industry to capitalise on the technologies that could transform it, Cadence's latest report, drawing on insights from 400 IT, facility, and business leaders worldwide, reveals how data centres are evolving and what changes are essential for future success. The report found that: · 86% of decision-makers say that failing to innovate data centres would lead to serious or moderate consequences· Three quarters (74%) say data centres are under increased pressure from AI-driven demands· 88% say they’re actively working to enhance energy efficiency, but only three-in-10 (31%) believe that they’re doing enough· 70% say the national power grid is being stretched to its limits, and there won’t be enough energy to go around if we don’t use renewable sources in data centres· A quarter (26%) state that they’d never use liquid cooling The report uncovered how opportunities for data centre innovation are lost through reluctance and a lack of preparedness to incorporate transformative technology and solutions. 80% of decision-makers say their organisation has the capabilities to capitalise on the technologies that could transform their data centre. However, this confidence doesn’t necessarily translate into advanced technologies and approaches actually being used. A sizeable majority (73%) say they use artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). However, fewer are using renewable energy sources (63%), liquid cooling (45%), and digital twins (42%). Innovation obstacles 86% of decision-makers say that failing to innovate data centres would lead to serious or moderate consequences. However, transformation is easier said than done. Data centres face various challenges when implementing innovation, with 42% of decision-makers citing the cost of implementing new technologies as the biggest barrier. Other obstacles include a lack of skilled staff (35%), incompatibility with legacy systems (31%), and uncertainty about future technologies (30%). Additionally, 33% are hesitant to invest due to unclear ROI. All of which underscores the complexities of driving innovation. AI challenges and opportunities The challenges continue as 74% of decision-makers agree that data centres are under increased pressure from AI-driven demands. This is arguably driving the uptake of high-density servers, which 59% report they are now using. Despite the complications created by AI, it is also being harnessed as an innovative tool within data centres themselves for fault detection (60%), natural language assistants (56%), demand forecasting (54%), and automating capacity management (50%). However, adoption isn’t always effortless, leading some to pull back. For example, 10% of decision-makers say they were using AI but aren’t anymore. Despite this, findings suggest future AI plans are on the horizon. Notably, while 73% of all respondents agree that the use of AI within data centres is still in its infancy, three-quarters (75%) believe that in the future, it’ll be possible to use AI to run data centres in place of human operators, indicating an expansive future for the technology. More immediately, 50% of respondents plan to use AI for energy management, highlighting its potential to drive efficiency and sustainability. Digital twins help address innovation challenges 73% of decision-makers believe digital twins are a game changer for driving technological innovation in data centres. This figure rises to 81% among those already using digital twins, underscoring their proven value in practice. These benefits may be why 21% of decision-makers not currently using digital twins plan to introduce them in the next 12 months. For more from Cadence, click here.
