More on the IM100 Award
The IM100 Awards specifically recognize individuals contributing to the data center industry in meaningful and measurable ways, setting new standards for sustainable, educational and innovative practices. This accolade acknowledges both Sridhar and Barber’s pivotal roles in Bloom’s continued innovations across the data center vertical and its commitment to delivering sustainable, reliable power to meet the increase in demands and challenges spurred by artificial intelligence (AI) and power restraints globally.
“The use of AI is growing rapidly across all segments of our society,” Sridhar said during Bloom’s recent earnings call. “This will exponentially increase energy demand in data centers over the next decade,” Sridhar noted that the acceleration of AI adoption and demand for compute power, combined with the imbalance in grid reliability, is creating a strong case for timely and reliable primary power.
