By Mike Hodge, AI Solutions Lead, Keysight Technologies TL;DR The Shift to Inference: The AI industry is rapidly transitioning from episodic model training to continuous, 24/7 inference operations, which are projected to soon account for two-thirds of all AI computational workloads. Compounding Financial Risks: Because inference runs constantly, even minor network inefficiencies or latency issues […] The post The Inference Reckoning: AI’s New Bottleneck Isn’t Strategy, It’s Time appeared first on Data Center POST.

The company plans up to 5 GW of AI infrastructure in France, where EDF is turning former power plant sites into data center campuses and electricity has become a competitive advantage.

By Laurent Segneri, R&D executive director at Apx Data Centre Solutions TL;DR The AI “Thermal Wall”: As AI-driven demands push rack densities to 100kW, traditional air-cooling methods have reached their physical limits, rendering standard, transactional cooling procurement obsolete. From Vendor to Collaborative Partner: Because every data centre now faces unique physical constraints and staffing shortages, […] The post Data Centre Cooling: How Collaboration Drives Performance And Long-Term Reliability appeared first on Data Center POST.

At its GTC Taipei conference, Nvidia announces Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceXAI as early adopters of its new Vera CPU.

Originally posted on Telecom Newsroom. Mission-critical Local Area Networks (LANs) in facilities like airports, hospitals, and industrial plants now support far more than traditional IT, handling essential 24/7 traffic such as security video, clinical systems, and building automation. Because these environments are typically saturated with high electromagnetic noise from sources like heavy machinery, elevator systems, […] The post Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) vs. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) in Mission-Critical LANs appeared first on Data Center POST.

TL;DR Data center uptime and infrastructure strategy are now board-level commercial imperatives, driven by the increasing demands and density of AI workloads. Relying on fragmented, multi-vendor delivery models splits accountability and significantly amplifies the risk of service continuity issues. Adopting a unified delivery model for Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) engineering, connectivity, and electronic security minimizes […] The post Beyond Fit-Out: Why Integrated M&E, Connectivity, and Security Are Now Board-Level Issues appeared first on Data Center POST.

Utilities say hyperscale data centers can spread grid costs across more customers, but regulators are building protections in case that growth fails to materialize.

Resilient Network Graphs architecture will become the default network for new non-GPU infrastructure, replacing Clos fabrics.

Foundations and high-density cores still rely on concrete, while low-carbon mixes, mass timber, and retrofits are moving the needle at the edges.

TL;DR Atlanta Technical College officially opened one of Georgia’s first datacenter technical training academies through Microsoft’s Datacenter Academy program. The facility features a hands-on simulation lab designed to prepare students for careers in datacenter operations, cybersecurity, networking and energy management. Backed by more than $800,000 in funding and support from Microsoft, TA Realty and TA […] The post Atlanta Technical College Launches One of Georgia’s First Datacenter Academy Lab Facilities to Strengthen Regional Workforce Pipeline appeared first on Data Center POST.

We explore the latest developments in data center hardware and infrastructure announced over the past month.

As hyperscale AI campuses scale up, water and wastewater capacity are emerging as siting gatekeepers, reshaping cooling choices, municipal planning, and project approvals.

Hyperscalers are adopting EV-style high-voltage power systems to reduce copper, cooling strain, and conversion losses.

TL;DR Victor expansion continues: Empire Fiber Internet is growing its 100% fiber network in Victor, NY. 2,000+ locations served: More homes and businesses across Ontario County now have access to high-speed internet. Regional investment underway: The buildout reflects Empire’s broader commitment to the Finger Lakes region and local economic growth. Empire Fiber Internet, a leading […] The post Empire Fiber Internet Continues Local Expansion in Victor, NY appeared first on Data Center POST.

Denmark halted new large-load grid agreements as AI, Power-to-X, and electrification demand overwhelm capacity, forcing power-access triage.

Enterprise AI workloads are moving from experimental pilots into persistent operational infrastructure, reshaping hyperscale compute demand.

TL;DR PowerBridge appointed Scott Hanna as Chief Revenue Officer to lead revenue strategy and hyperscale customer engagement. Hanna previously held leadership roles at Cumulus Data and CyrusOne, bringing experience in hyperscale and powered campus development. The company is advancing several multi-gigawatt powered digital infrastructure campuses across West Texas, including its planned Alpha Digital Powered Campus […] The post PowerBridge Strengthens Leadership Team as AI Infrastructure Demand Accelerates appeared first on Data Center POST.

TL;DR Direct Engagement is Essential: Data center developers must proactively communicate with local communities rather than relying on local governments to manage public concerns about resource usage, pollution, and grid strain. The Cost of Silence: Failing to address community worries transparently creates a narrative vacuum that invites misinformation, resentment, and severe political backlash, as seen […] The post Engaging the Public on the Realities of Digital Infrastructure appeared first on Data Center POST.

A new platform from CoreWeave combines inference, reinforcement learning, and observability to continuously optimize AI agents using live production data.

TL;DR As edge AI increasingly automates industrial infrastructure monitoring, a critical reliability problem has emerged: these AI systems are only as accurate as the observations feeding them. Facilities face a dangerous “ground truth gap” because isolated sensors and static deployments often fail to capture true environmental conditions, missing localized issues like thermal layering or airflow […] The post The Hidden Reliability Problem Behind Edge AI and Industrial IoT appeared first on Data Center POST.
