Why AI Performance Starts Long Before GPUs
2+ day, 14+ 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…...
Data Centers vs. Telcos: Different Roles, Shared Dependence
2+ day, 22+ hour ago (347+ words) Data centers provide the environments where compute runs; telcos deliver the networks that connect them. Here’s how the two ecosystems diverge and overlap. A data center is a facility purpose-built to house IT equipment. Facilities range from hyperscale campuses with…...
Beyond WUE: Assessing Data Center Water Resilience
3+ day, 17+ hour ago (271+ words) Insight and analysis on the data center space from industry thought leaders. Water stewardship claims and WUE scores don’t guarantee reliability under heatwaves or water shortages. A site-specific resilience assessment matters more. As data center capacity expands worldwide, water resilience…...
Power Availability Now Determines Where Data Centers Get Built
3+ day, 22+ hour ago (883+ words) With US data center electricity use surging, developers must prove they can secure scalable, reliable power before breaking ground.
