5+ hour, 26+ min ago  (700+ words) Hyperbolic and Qumulus AI say customers now care as much about utilization, efficiency, and production operations as raw GPU capacity. Since 2024, AI infrastructure providers have competed to put more GPUs on the floor. Now they face a different problem: keeping…...

3+ day, 14+ hour ago  (750+ words) Insight and analysis on the data center space from industry thought leaders. AI inference needs scalable memory, not just compute. CXL decouples the two, letting data centers scale memory independently and avoid overbuying expensive processors. This shift matters because training…...

3+ day, 18+ hour ago  (399+ words) Insight and analysis on the data center space from industry thought leaders. AI workload volatility forces data centers to run secondary tasks, inflating energy use, infrastructure demands, costs, and grid pressure. A significant but overlooked part of the answer lies'not'in'the'models…...

4+ day, 15+ hour ago  (834+ words) Co-packaged optics promise efficiency and performance gains for data centers, but challenges remain for widespread adoption. To speed up IT workloads and reduce power consumption, you must minimize the distance data travels within computing hardware. This is the premise of…...

4+ day, 18+ hour ago  (563+ words) Organizations including NEMA, ASHRAE, and PNNL have introduced a framework to guide developers, engineers, and facility managers in managing increasingly power-intensive AI workloads. The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure is creating new challenges in power delivery, cooling, efficiency, and facility…...

5+ day, 14+ hour ago  (980+ words) Architecture and landscape are moving from afterthought to differentiator as operators court communities, tenants, and talent. Data centers are no longer judged only by power density, resilience, and network connectivity. Increasingly, they are evaluated by how they look and how…...

6+ day, 17+ hour ago  (556+ words) In the final part of our series on diesel alternatives, we examine hydrogen engines, fuel cells, and renewable fuels " and why behind-the-meter fuel cells may scale fastest to meet AI-era demand. In this series exploring potential substitutes for diesel generators,…...

6+ day, 22+ hour ago  (487+ words) The OQC-AMD build, with JPMorgan Chase as the first dedicated user, reflects a broader shift from remote-access demos to enterprise-grade quantum-AI workflows. UK-based quantum computing company Oxford Quantum Computing (OQC), JPMorgan Chase, and AMD have launched a research collaboration centered…...

1+ week, 6+ hour ago  (1073+ words) As the EU refines its strategies to compete with the US and China on chips, AI, and energy grids, data center groups warn that some proposals may prove counterproductive. The EU has introduced a raft of measures to improve its…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago  (380+ words) As data centers adopt liquid cooling, choosing between stainless steel and plastic manifolds impacts reliability, cost, and long-term performance. To manage that heat, data center operators are turning to liquid cooling, which works much more efficiently to cool data centers…...
