UK Leads in Online Transactions

Online transactions are increasing on both sides of the Atlantic � with mid-cost purchases the most popular � but fear of identity theft and other online fraud is having a direct impact on confidence in this medium, according to a survey commissioned by online security firm RSA Security.

The research survey, conducted in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the United States by research consultancy Momentum Research Group, gauges market confidence in conducting more frequent and higher value transactions online and helps businesses understand the key components in developing trust in online transactions.

Consumers in each of these nations are spending more online today, although a significant segment is actively reducing their investment. Online expenditure per respondent during the month of September averaged �153, with 40 per cent stating that this was higher than 12 months ago. The UK leads the way, averaging �231 per consumer, and US consumers spent the least at �129 per consumer.

AI-Driven Data Center Liquid Cooling Demand

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperscale cloud computing is fundamentally reshaping data center infrastructure, and liquid cooling is emerging as an indispensable solution. As traditional air-cooled systems reach their physical limits, the IT industry is under pressure to adopt more efficient thermal management strategies to meet growing demands, while complying with stringent environmental regulations. Liquid Cooling Market Development The latest ABI Research analysis reveals momentum in liquid cooling adoption. Installations are forecast to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. The market will reach $3.7 billion in value by the decade's end, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The urgency behind these numbers becomes clear when examining energy metrics: liquid cooling systems demonstrate 40 percent greater energy efficiency when compared to conventional air-cooling architectures, while simultaneously enabling ~300-500 percent increases in computational density per rac...
