AI-Ready Data Centers

Industry Update

AI factories are reshaping the way we design, build and operate traditional data centers. The advent of AI has started an industry frenzy of innovation, investment and speed to market. AI factories are driving the next industrial revolution. These specialized data centers utilize massive computational power to produce large amounts of intelligence, in the form of tokens. These tokens serve as a measure of value of AI intelligence generated within those factories.

We know the demand for AI tokens will continue to grow as AI becomes more integrated into various industries and applications. ABB stands AI-Ready with our broad equipment and services portfolio from the power source to the rack.
As seen recently at AFCOM Data Center World, our team showcased the latest innovations in power distribution and power protection. Connect with our team of experts to learn more about how we're supporting AI factories and we look forward to seeing you all at the 7x24 Spring Conference in Orlando!

Lastly, two exciting announcements from ABB Data Centers. ABB is now a Global Partner of Infrastructure Masons. We value the industry leadership and engagement led by iMasons and look forward to engaging as a Global Partner.

Representing ABB as an iMasons Advisory Council member is Jorge Lis, Global Data Center Segment Leader. Jorge is newly appointed in this role and brings years of experience and expertise in electrification to the data center industry.
