Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important in the data center industry, not only for economic reasons but also for sustainability. This presentation will focus on datacenter cooling systems, commonly referred to as precision cooling, which have significantly evolved from their original definition.

These technologies are poised for further development, especially in the context of direct chip cooling. We will explore the available technologies, the opportunities they present, and how to develop a roadmap that supports the refurbishment of existing installations, allowing for the integration of liquid-cooled servers. This talk will encourage participants to reflect on the topic, introducing key metrics to better understand the technological solutions, future maintainability, and strategic approaches for increasingly complex data centers.
