Next-generation AI servers are pushing data center power densities toward the deployment of up to a 1MW rack, which is at a scale that redefines facility design. This talk presents the RISE of a project using server emulators to mimic future systems, enabling testing and validation before hardware arrives. The focus is building power and cooling infrastructure capable of sustaining up to 1MW per rack, from advanced liquid cooling to heat reuse strategies. The objective of an initiative at RISE is to build a demonstration that tackles the challenges of delivering such high power and removing heat efficiently, while minimizing energy losses.
