For years, data center power strategy had a familiar shape. The utility provided the primary source. Generators provided backup. UPS systems bridged the gap. Batteries covered short-duration events. The model was not simple, but the hierarchy was clear: grid first,...

Most data center failures do not begin with a dramatic explosion, a flashing red alarm, or a total system collapse. They usually begin much earlier, in quieter ways. A bus connection starts running a few degrees hotter than normal. A fan motor picks up a vibration...

For the last two years, most of the AI infrastructure conversation has been about chips. Who gets the GPUs? Who gets priority access? Who has the capital to buy the next generation of accelerators? Who can build enough compute fast enough to serve the demand? That...

For most of the data center industry’s history, cooling was treated as a facility system that supported the IT load. Servers produced heat, mechanical systems removed it, and electrical teams made sure enough power was available to keep everything running. The two...

For a long time, data center teams treated utility interconnection like a slow administrative process. It was important, certainly, but it sat somewhere upstream of the “real” engineering work. The project team would submit the load request, wait for studies,...

For years, data center development followed a familiar sequence: find the site, secure utility service, design the facility, procure equipment, build the campus, energize the load. Power was critical, but it was usually treated as something the utility would...
