  • Why Big Money Is Pouring Into AI Cooling

    Why Big Money Is Pouring Into AI Cooling
    2026/09/10

    Liquid cooling has become one of the most important technologies in the rise of AI. Powerful new AI server hardware throws off a lot of heat, pushing past the limits of most traditional air cooling. This has driven a surge of acquisitions in the cooling sector, and none bigger than Ecolab's $4.75 billion deal to acquire liquid cooling specialist CoolIT Systems.

    In this episode of Data Center Richness, host Rich Miller sits down with Jason Walker, Director of Product Marketing for Data Centers at Ecolab, to break down the CoolIT acquisition.

    Walker discusses how Ecolab is pairing decades of industrial fluid management with CoolIT's cold plates, CDUs, and manifolds to solve critical operational bottlenecks. Learn why fluid health and monitoring matter during commissioning, how joint R&D at CoolIT's 6MW Calgary facility aims to extend single-phase cooling limits for extreme densities, and how integrated hardware and chemistry simplify lifecycle operations for hyperscalers and multi-tenant colocation operators.

    Here's an overview of the conversation:

    00:00 - Introduction: The CoolIT Acquisition and AI Cooling
    01:42 - Ecolab's Mission in Data Centers and Fluid Management
    04:00 - Strategic Fit: Why Ecolab Acquired CoolIT
    05:56 - Navigating Startup Risks and Direct-to-Chip Fluid Health
    09:06 - In-Line Testing and 3D TRASAR Real-Time Monitoring
    10:32 - Deploying Side-Stream Controllers and BMS Integration
    12:09 - Connecting Hardware Monitoring and Fluid Data
    13:40 - Integration Progress and Cultural Alignment Post-Close
    16:40 - Calgary Testing Facility and Joint R&D Capabilities
    19:28 - Extending Single-Phase Liquid Cooling Limits
    23:01 - Customer Base: Hyperscalers vs. Colocation Operators
    26:10 - Fluid Health and Multi-Tenant Hybrid Cooling Challenges
    28:21 - Where to Connect with Jason Walker and Learn More

  • Building A Safety Culture at Internet Speed

    Building A Safety Culture at Internet Speed
    2026/08/26

    Building hyperscale data centers at the speed of AI comes with a massive challenge: taking care of the thousands of tradespeople on the front lines of construction sites. As project schedules compress and job sites push into remote locations, how do industry leaders build a culture that keeps workers safe, healthy, and genuinely supported?

    In this episode of Data Center Richness podcast, we sit down with Trey Dean, Senior Vice President of Global EHS at Vantage Data Centers. Trey shares how Vantage is priotiizing site welfare, tracking workforce mental health with actionable data, and using AI and robotics to remove workers from high-risk duties., like moving giant racks

    Here is an overview of the conversation between Rich Miller of Data Center Richness and Trey Dean.

  • Is The Data Center Boom Built to Last?

    Is The Data Center Boom Built to Last?
    2026/08/19

    There's a big question at the heart of today's tech headlines: Is there an AI bubble? I sat down with someone who's been building data centers since 1997, and I found his answer really insightful.

    That's Ron Vokoun. He's had 37 years in construction, most of it in digital infrastructure - fiber networks in the '90s, the first Qwest data centers, a stretch dedicated to prefab and modular builds, and now cooling as the Senior VIce President of Data Center Cooling at SVL Inc.

    Ron has also become one of the most trusted voices curating data center news, first on LinkedIn, now with his Mission Critical Connections newsletter on Substack.

    In this conversation, we get into why he thinks prefab is more important than ever due to the labor shortage in construction, how rack densities have blown past anything we saw coming, and his interesting answer on whether this AI buildout is a bubble, and what's actually keeping it in check.

    Here's an overview of the discussion between Data Center Richness host Rich Miller and Ron Vokoun:

    00:00 - On the front lines of construction, design, cooling and data center news curation

    01:00 - Ron Vokoun's Data Center Journey

    05:30 - The Evolution of Modular and PreFab Designs

    07:00 - From Construction to Cooling

    10:00 - The Pace of Change in the AI Era

    14:00 - The Key to Good Business News Curation

    17:40 - The AI Boom, and Ron's Take on "Bubble"
