Can your data infrastructure handle the realities of AI scale?
WD’s Alex Segeda explores whether your data infrastructure is ready for the scale, speed and complexity of modern AI workloads.
The quantum opportunity will not look like a normal data centre build
JLL's Daniel Thorpe examines why quantum-ready facilities will need different thinking on power, cooling, location and complexity.
Why is the AI industry still talking as if everything belongs in the cloud?
Why is AI still framed as a cloud story? Neel Khokhani of Epochal Corporation says the real momentum is already at the edge.
Why fire safety can’t be an afterthought on hyperscale builds
Why can’t fire safety wait? Ramtech Global's Aaron Velardi examines the rising construction risks on hyperscale data centre sites.
Resilience starts with the network – and ends with operational discipline
Opengear's Ramtin Rampour argues resilience is earned in failure, through recoverability, access and the operational discipline to restore service.
The data centre boom will stall without a skills plan
The data centre boom risks running out of people before power, unless the industry replaces poaching with a real long-term skills pipeline.
Why reliable liquid cooling starts long before the rack goes live
Bob Walicki, Ecolab Senior RD&E Program Leader, argues reliable liquid cooling is won before go-live through integrated CDUs, fluid control and commissioning.
Why legacy data centre networks are no longer fit for purpose
Stephen Kingdom, CTO at Xantaro, explains why AI growth, hybrid cloud and CNI demands are making legacy data centre networks a growing risk.
Are data centres forcing the energy sector to rethink everything?
AI-driven data centre growth is reshaping energy strategy, accelerating grid investment, behind-the-meter power, and hybrid energy models worldwide.
Why the future of AI infrastructure may depend on warmer water
As AI rack densities rise, warmer-water cooling is emerging as a way to cut energy use, simplify infrastructure, and support scalable growth.
