Data center operators struggle to prevent catastrophic cooling failures during extreme heat events

Data center operators face critical infrastructure failures when power grids become strained during heat waves, resulting in equipment damage, service outages, and potential fires. Current cooling and backup power systems are inadequate during peak demand periods when grid capacity is pushed to limits. Companies lose revenue, damage reputation, and face safety hazards when their facilities overheat.
