Internet connectivity was an essential ingredient that helped many industries continue operating throughout the pandemic. The internet traffic boom that resulted from work-from-home policies increased demand on network connectivity that still remains to this day. How are IT and AV companies handling this demand and what are they doing to prepare for the future?

On the newest episode of the Signal Flow by AVIXA, host Ben Thomas sits down with George Herbert, Customer Support with Epiphan, about the steady increase in demand on network connectivity. The two discuss…

  • Why the line between AV and IT is blurred and why it’s important to understand the common goal between the two
  • How technology and network use has continued to increase since the massive spike during the height of the pandemic
  • What the demand on network infrastructure means for the future of device management

“Our goal, in everything we do, is we want to try to help tear down some of those traditional barriers that have made broadcast difficult in some ways and make sure that everybody at all markets, at all levels has access to really high-quality video and audio for whatever it is that they need to do,” said Herbert.

Herbert has been in the tech world for nearly twenty years. Prior to his role with Epiphan, Herbert worked as a Tech Manager for RB Computing Inc. He earned the ESET Cyber Security Awareness Training Certificate in October 2022.

As AI Chips Near 4,000 Watts, Liquid Cooling Becomes the Backbone of Data Center Design

As AI Chips Near 4,000 Watts, Liquid Cooling Becomes the Backbone of Data Center Design

Rising AI power density is pushing data centers from air to liquid cooling, with racks trending toward megawatt scale.

  • 01Data center electricity demand rose 17% in 2025 with AI-specific demand projected to triple by 2030, concentrating megawatt-scale power into smaller spaces.
  • 02Leading-edge GPUs will exceed 4,000 W thermal design power by 2029, pushing air cooling beyond practical limits and accelerating adoption of two-phase direct liquid cooling.
  • 03Accelsius says NeuCool can cool 4,500W+ per socket and that warmer facility water can deliver about 4% annual energy savings per °C.
