Broadband Video Niche Sites Gain Traction

Scripps Networks says that its niche broadband video service, HGTV BathDesign, which launched in late April, garnered nearly a million video views in its first month. Measurement of the service's traffic was conducted by Web analytics company, Omniture.

The service, which is one of several niche broadband VOD services that Scripps has launched this year, features around 200 streaming videos providing bathroom remodeling tips, information on new design trends, and more.

It also provides an array of interactive tools, including a design tool that allows users to recreate their existing or desired floorplan and fill it with appliances and features; a video player that provides supplemental information on ideas and products featured in the service's videos as those videos are played back; and applications that allow users to save and share information about their design plans and about products and services they are interested in.

Scripps Networks plans to launch similar, highly targeted broadband TV channels over the next two years.

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...
