The rise of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital services is accelerating the construction of hyperscale data centers, whose energy needs are now measured in gigawatts. This unprecedented growth is pushing traditional electrical infrastructure to its limits, posing major challenges in terms of capacity, energy efficiency, thermal management, space optimization, and sustainability.

To address these challenges, data center electrical architectures are evolving rapidly. 800V direct current (DC) solutions help reduce losses and the current required to power the racks, while superconducting technologies are paving the way for more compact, higher-performance, and more sustainable infrastructure.

Drawing on its expertise in critical infrastructure and next-generation technologies, Nexans supports its customers in designing and deploying these new architectures to build the data centers of the future in a more efficient, sustainable, and resilient manner.
