How flexible infrastructure, efficient energy supply and AI-controlled security systems make companies fit for the future.
In an era of rapid technological change, companies and organisations are faced with the challenge of designing their IT infrastructure to be not only powerful, but also secure and flexible. The use of artificial intelligence in particular calls for new concepts for computing power, energy supply and protection mechanisms. Modular data centres offer a response to these requirements and are increasingly becoming a central component of modern cyber security.
The growing importance of AI in business and society is fundamentally changing the security policy basis of digital infrastructures. Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool for innovation, but also a key factor in cyber security. Self-learning systems can detect anomalies in network traffic, user behaviour or system processes faster than traditional security solutions and respond proactively to threats. For such systems to work effectively, companies need powerful, flexible and secure IT architectures.
Modular data centres open up precisely these possibilities. In contrast to rigid large-scale systems, they enable rapid scaling, demand-driven adjustments and flexible integration of new technologies. This modularity not only reduces investment and operating costs, but above all increases the agility of organisations that have to survive in dynamic IT environments.
A key aspect is efficient energy supply and cooling. Modern AI systems generate enormous computing loads that require innovative concepts such as high-voltage direct current (HVDC) networks and direct-to-chip liquid cooling. Such technologies increase energy efficiency, reduce noise and even enable the recycling of waste heat, for example for district heating networks or industrial processes.
A practical example is the UHD AI rack from noris network, which was developed specifically for high-performance AI systems. With an electrical power consumption of over 150 kW per rack, direct liquid cooling and HVDC power supply, it sets new standards. The modular concept allows flexible integration into existing infrastructures, providing a stable and secure basis for the operation of power-intensive AI applications – from the training of large language models to critical real-time systems.
Modular data centres are therefore more than just a technical innovation. They are a strategic response to the increasing demands on performance, security and adaptability in the digital world. Especially in times of increasing cyber threats, they create a robust foundation for leveraging the benefits of AI while ensuring a high level of resilience and security.
