Vertiv To Highlight AI Infrastructure Challenges At ITW Africa 2026

Power and cooling infrastructure for artificial intelligence workloads will be among the topics on the agenda at International Telecoms Week (ITW) Africa 2026, where Vertiv will exhibit its data centre infrastructure technologies.The event, scheduled for 8 September 2026, comes as data centre operators and telecommunications companies across Africa face growing demand for infrastructure capable of supporting increasingly compute-intensive workloads.Vertiv will use its presence at the event to showcase technologies covering high-density power, liquid cooling, heat rejection and infrastructure management for AI applications. The company will also demonstrate its technologies through virtual and augmented reality experiences at Stand 404.The growing adoption of AI is putting additional pressure on data centre infrastructure. AI workloads can require significantly greater computing power and generate more heat than many traditional enterprise applications, increasing the demands placed on power distribution and cooling systems.These challenges are particularly relevant to Africa, where data centre operators are expanding capacity to support cloud services, digital platforms and emerging AI applications while also dealing with constraints around electricity availability, infrastructure costs and efficiency.Wojtek Piorko, Managing Director for Africa at Vertiv, is scheduled...
