Data centers require skilled professionals. Collaboration between IT and facilities, along with proactive maintenance and remote monitoring, helps address workforce shortages.

As opposition to data center expansion grows, policymakers may eventually look beyond power and water consumption to ask whether the digital services those facilities support justify their environmental and infrastructure costs.

The proposed rules must still be approved by NERC’s board and federal regulators. As written, they would apply to computational loads of 50 MW or more connected at voltage levels of at least 100 kV.

TL;DR AI-driven growth is reshaping Europe’s data center industry, placing greater demands on power availability, infrastructure design and operational flexibility. Battery energy storage is expanding beyond traditional backup applications to support grid stability, energy management and increasingly dynamic workloads. Rising compute densities are accelerating innovation in cooling technologies while challenging conventional approaches to data center […] The post The Forces Reshaping Europe’s Data Center Future appeared first on Data Center POST.

TL;DR Ecosystem over Infrastructure: Data center value is increasingly driven by surrounding carrier density, cloud on-ramps, and Internet Exchanges rather than power and space alone. Compounding Business Value: Carrier-neutral environments leverage network effects to offer enhanced choice, vendor redundancy, and efficient paths for AI and hybrid cloud workloads. Future-Proofing Strategy: Interconnection serves as a core […] The post The Business Value of Interconnection Ecosystems appeared first on Data Center POST.

JLL says strong AI demand is not enough to protect projects lacking power certainty, anchor tenants, and credible delivery timelines.

TL;DR Fiber operators are reassessing network expansion strategies as AI workloads increase demand for capacity, low-latency connectivity and stronger returns on infrastructure investments. Modular data center designs and edge computing are gaining attention as operators seek faster, more flexible ways to deploy AI-ready infrastructure. Community engagement and public trust are becoming increasingly important to project […] The post AI, Infrastructure Investment, and Community Trust Take Center Stage at Metro Connect Fall 2026 appeared first on Data Center POST.

TL;DR Simplified Service Delivery: Centralizing service configuration at the point of presence removes the need for repeated WAN changes, complex multicast design, and premises-level NAT adjustments. Scalable Multi-Service Platform: Once the initial Layer 2 segment is established, operators can easily attach new cloud, partner, or AI infrastructure services to the customer site. Commercial Availability: Managed […] The post MaiaEdge Introduces the PBC 100 Series appeared first on Data Center POST.

Brazil’s data center growth is spreading beyond São Paulo to Rio, Fortaleza, and the south, but power grid delays and lengthy permitting will decide which markets actually succeed.

TL;DR 3C and Datalec Precision Installations have merged to form 3C Datalec, combining liquid cooling, engineering, manufacturing, connectivity, and facilities management expertise. The combined company forecasts more than $400 million in 2026 revenue, with approximately 1,000 employees and active projects across 16 countries. Backed by new investment, 3C Datalec plans to hire 200 engineers and […] The post 3C and Datalec Merge to Form $400M+ AI Data Center Infrastructure Platform appeared first on Data Center POST.

TL;DR AI workload demands: Rapidly accelerating rack densities and power requirements mean operators must establish accurate visibility into existing capacity before committing capital to new deployments. Unified operational visibility: Disconnected spreadsheets and software create visibility gaps, whereas infrastructure intelligence links facility, IT, and connectivity dependencies into a single operational model. Proactive planning with digital twins: […] The post AI Is Only as Strong as the Infrastructure Intelligence Behind It appeared first on Data Center POST.

US data center land spending hit roughly $6 billion in the first half of 2026, as power access now drives land value and pricing more than location alone.

TL;DR Drawings Reflect Design Intent, Not Installed Reality: Equipment records extracted from engineering drawings show intended tag names and ratings, but they cannot confirm actual field swaps, serial numbers, or procurement updates. Separate Document Data from Field Verification: Every record entry should cite its source drawing number and revision letter, maintaining a clear distinction between […] The post An Equipment List Is Only as Useful as Its Source appeared first on Data Center POST.

AI is pushing data center cooling to its limits, so the real advantage comes from integrating smart sensing, motor control, and power management into a single responsive, failure-anticipating system.

Topgolf and VMware "ran deep" before the migration.

TL;DR Power Readiness Scheduling: Grid interconnection wait times reaching five to ten years in many regions require maintaining a dedicated power-readiness schedule that tracks utility upgrades, energization permissions, and phased deployment dependencies. Rack Level Cooling and Water Strategy: Facility engineering must look beyond hall averages to accommodate high rack densities with direct liquid cooling, traceable […] The post AI Infrastructure Is Running Into Power Grid and Cooling Limits appeared first on Data Center POST.

TL;DR Expanded network reach: Enables service providers to deliver private Layer 2 Ethernet connectivity beyond their existing fiber footprints without additional fiber construction. Automated connectivity: Pairs with the MaiaEdge PBC 2000 to establish encrypted Ethernet connections over available fiber, dedicated internet access, satellite and other IP transport. New service opportunities: Supports cloud on-ramps, distributed AI […] The post MaiaEdge Introduces PBC 100 Series to Extend Private Ethernet Beyond Fiber Networks appeared first on Data Center POST.

Chiplets are reshaping CPU design, enabling data centers to do more without increasing space or power consumption.

Microsoft unveiled Maia 300, its third-generation AI chip, as Maia 200 goes live, powering Copilot.

Before operations begin, layered defenses at the site and in the supply chain help prevent theft, vandalism, counterfeit gear, and covert endpoints.

TRG DataCenters’ August 2026 ranking places Virginia in the lead, while states with abundant power, low-carbon electricity, and favorable water conditions gain ground.
