3+ day, 23+ hour ago   (584+ words) Insight and analysis on the data center space from industry thought leaders. AI outcomes depend on how predictably and securely data moves across data centers, clouds, and the edge. Designing for latency, resilience, and visibility is now as important as…...

6+ day, 6+ hour ago   (485+ words) Data center GPUs physically last 5+ years, but economic replacement cycles are 2-4 years due to rapid performance gains. Resale or GPU-as-a-Service models help maximize value. These questions are central to long-term capacity planning – not to mention getting ahead of the e-waste…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago   (664+ words) While alternatives to evaporative cooling exist, most data centers don’t adopt them because the economics currently don’t justify the higher capital costs and operational complexity. In public debates about data centers, one of the loudest objections is that they drain…...
