As AI workloads push data centers toward higher density and faster power swings, operators are rethinking the role of battery infrastructure in supporting both backup power and increasingly dynamic AI workloads. On July 28, DCD will host a webinar for its AI Week to look at how smarter battery technology can help support scalable, AI-ready infrastructure. The discussion, “Enabling AI factory scalability through smarter battery technology,” will stream 1-2 p.m. EST on DCD’s Compute, Storage & Networking Channel.

AI is changing the rules for data center power. Traditional backup approaches were built for a different era, but today’s facilities need battery technologies that can handle more dynamic loads, tighter space constraints, and growing pressure to improve efficiency and resilience.

Rather than simply requiring more power, AI is introducing highly dynamic power demands that are prompting operators to rethink how infrastructure responds to rapid changes in load.

That shift is why this webinar matters now. Bringing together experts in power infrastructure, battery technology, and digital infrastructure strategy, the session will explore how next-generation battery technologies can better support AI-ready infrastructure. The discussion will examine topics including power density, performance, safety, sustainability, and deployability, as well as how battery-enabled infrastructure, modular system design, and emerging technologies can support GPU-intensive workloads while helping reduce both capital and operating costs.

What: “Enabling AI factory scalability through smarter battery technology” webinar

When: Tuesday, July 28, 1-2 p.m.

For operators, the core issue is practical: How do you scale AI compute while maintaining reliability, maximizing available space, and avoiding unnecessary infrastructure costs?  That’s where battery architecture becomes more than a backup decision and starts to shape overall infrastructure strategy.

Whether you’re designing new AI infrastructure, expanding existing capacity, or evaluating future power strategies, the session offers practical perspectives on one of the industry’s fastest-evolving challenges.

As AI infrastructure continues to evolve, understanding how battery technology fits into the broader power strategy is becoming increasingly important.
