Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure, played a key role at the inaugural Data Center Nation in Riyadh, a premier platform for Saudi Arabia’s data center industry. Partnering with Mohammed Mansour Al-Rumaih (MMR KSA) Vertiv reinforced its commitment to advancing data center infrastructure in the region.

Vertiv led a panel discussion titled “Cooling the AI Era,” moderated by Piergiorgio Tagliapietra, Director of Application Engineering Thermal Management, EMEA. The session explored the rising power and cooling demands of AI-driven high-performance computing (HPC), with rack densities now exceeding 100 kW. Industry experts highlighted the shift from traditional cooling to advanced solutions, including direct-to-chip liquid cooling and rear-door heat exchangers.

Attendees at Vertiv’s booth experienced the Vertiv 360AI platform, which integrates liquid and air-cooling technologies for deployments of up to 132 kW per rack. The solution optimises heat management, enhances operational efficiency, and ensures future readiness for AI workloads.

Beyond cooling, discussions focused on 2025 data center trends, covering AI’s impact on power and cooling infrastructure, energy management, sustainability, and cybersecurity. Experts emphasised collaboration in developing AI Factory roadmaps, integrating IT with infrastructure, and addressing regulatory concerns surrounding AI’s environmental impact.

Tassos Peppas, Regional Director METCA, Vertiv, stated: “We were thrilled to be part of Data Center Nation Riyadh, a fast-growing hub for data center innovation. Engaging with thought leaders and industry partners strengthens our commitment to shaping the future of AI-driven infrastructure.”

He added: “Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation, driven by Vision 2030, is accelerating investment in high-performance, scalable data centers. Vertiv is proud to support this growth with cutting-edge infrastructure solutions, ensuring energy-efficient and future-ready facilities.”
