Solidigm co-CEO Dave Dixon discusses the positive impacts of hyper-dense storage in designing more sustainable data centers, and the corresponding benefits to offsetting the extreme environmental challenges inherent to ever-increasing AI compute space and energy needs.

The telecom sector has witnessed a significant shift in the perception of sustainability, transforming it from a mere "feel good" activity to a crucial business imperative. Ericsson is actively contributing to the sector's journey towards achieving Net Zero emissions by offering innovative solutions and services to help communication service providers (CSPs) enhance network energy performance and reduce emissions throughout their value chain.

Data centers are the backbone to our IT infrastructure. With the boom of generative AI, such as large language models, and with data growing at an exponential rate, around 2% of global electricity is used to power data centers and is reportedly increasing 12% annually.
The proliferation of artificial intelligence and the drive towards electrification have led to an unprecedented surge in energy needs. Generating additional electricity might appear to be the straightforward answer, yet the true resolution resides in improving efficiency and power innovation.
Residing in the lowest layer of the hardware stack and integrating all security functions within a single SoC or module, the Axiado TCU effectively acts as a “last line of defense,” even when all other network functions have been compromised. The TCU detects and stops ongoing attacks and recovers the system from an attack with AI intelligence.
