E70: Building Resilient Data Centers for the AI Era — A Conversation with Scott Longhurst, Data Center Services Director at Datalec Precision Installations
In this episode of NEDAS Live!, Scott Longhurst, Data Center Services Director at Datalec Precision Installations, explores what it takes to keep data centers resilient as AI drives unprecedented demands for power and cooling. Drawing on more than 35 years of experience, Scott discusses a growing challenge: facilities are being built faster than people can be trained to operate them. He explains how liquid cooling is changing maintenance responsibilities, why proactive maintenance requires more than following a calendar, and how skilled teams and better monitoring help prevent costly failures.
