The summit highlighted the shift from conventional cooling to dielectric fluid systems, which submerge hardware to improve thermal efficiency and reduce energy consumption. During the event, keynote speaker Allison Boen of Alcatex Data Center Services emphasized the importance of Open Compute Project standards in mitigating risks and ensuring fluid certification for government-grade hardware. Experts from GRC and Hypertec joined IT Availability leadership to debate infrastructure requirements for converting existing facilities to support AI-heavy workloads.

Beyond hardware, the company unveiled DeepCool Analytics, an AI-driven platform developed with Aim Ltd. The tool integrates facility monitoring, cybersecurity, and IT service management into a single dashboard. IT Availability CEO Chuck Dickens noted that the firm’s new R&D center in Northern Virginia serves as a hub for educating officials on modernizing data centers to handle accelerating compute demands. The platform is currently available to the U.S. government market, offering resource tracking and low-code integration for enterprise-scale infrastructure.
