NVIDIA is rolling out AI data center reference designs that combine digital twins with power, cooling, and controls architectures from industrial partners including Siemens, Schneider Electric, and Trane; aimed at making multi-gigawatt AI factories more repeatable, efficient, and faster to deploy.

Mike Connaughton of Leviton Network Solutions explains how strong partnerships can help data center operators overcome common challenges and enrich project development.

Each month Data Center Frontier, in partnership with Pkaza, posts some of the hottest data center career opportunities in the market. Here’s a look at some of the latest data center jobs posted on the Data Center Frontier jobs board, powered by Pkaza Critical Facilities Recruiting.

As AI workloads drive rack densities into unprecedented territory, the expectations placed on data center facilities teams are shifting just as quickly.

The fifth in a series recapping key sessions from the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2025 (Aug. 26–28), held Sept. 26, 2025, in Reston, Va.

Google’s new TPU generations, including Trillium and Ironwood, are emerging as the strongest challenge yet to Nvidia’s GPU leadership, backed by a growing AI Hypercomputer ecosystem.

As AI demand accelerates, data center power strategy is shifting from simple PPAs to full-stack energy platforms. In this edition of Dual Feed, we track the utilities, microgrid builders, and storage innovators reshaping how hyperscalers secure clean, firm, fast-to-market power.

As artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) design criteria continue to evolve, today’s data center operators face a new challenge: engineering facilities capable of handling extreme density, variable workloads, and rapid hardware refresh cycles. Faced with rapid innovation...

AI is reshaping the data center in unexpected ways: from former crypto mining sites becoming AI campuses to rack-scale systems that are redefining power, cooling, and economics at the edge of feasibility. In this episode and accompanying feature, Data Center Frontier and Uptime Institute’s Max Smolaks unpack what OCP 2025 revealed about where AI infrastructure is headed—and the hard questions emerging...

Media coverage highlights the potential risks associated with data centers, including grid stability and environmental impacts. Policymakers are enacting measures like moratoriums and revised approval processes to balance economic benefits with community and environmental safety.

Tod Higinbotham, CEO of ZincFive, explains why immediate power solutions — and nickel-zinc battery chemistry — matter in the AI era.

As rack densities surge and grid headroom tightens, liquid cooling is becoming the backbone of AI data centers. Here we unpack the strategic moves—Trane’s Stellar deal, LG’s Flex alliance, DarkNX’s 300MW NeuCool campus, NJFX’s liquid-to-the-chip hall and more—that signal a new phase for thermal architecture...
