As AI timelines compress and power constraints intensify, data center strategy is being redefined around speed, energy integration, and lifecycle coordination. In this Executive Roundtable, Data Center Frontier examines how economics, energy ecosystems, and unified workflows are reshaping the design...

The sixth in a series of articles recapping key sessions from the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2025 (Aug. 26–28), held Sept. 27, 2025, in Reston, Va.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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...

As liquid-cooled AI data centers scale at hyperscale speed, Rob Lowe argues that long-term reliability, cost control, and sustainability now depend on tight cross-disciplinary coordination: linking power, cooling, chemistry, construction, and real-time data into standardized, maintainable energy and water ecosystems across global portfolios.

As AI factories enter the gigawatt era, Phillip Marangella says success now hinges on relentless coordination - across chips, cooling ecosystems, power sourcing, supply chains, and operations - enabled by standardized, modular designs and new AI-native data center platforms built to deliver massive capacity at unprecedented speed and scale.

As AI-driven timelines outpace grid capacity, Ben Rapp contends that future-ready data centers will depend on tightly integrated power and cooling architectures—modular, hybrid, and fuel-flexible systems unified by lifecycle data—to transform backup power into an adaptive energy platform that delivers speed, resilience, sustainability, and long-term cost control at scale.

As AI infrastructure scales, Joe Reele points out that standardized, modular liquid-cooled designs—anchored by digital twins and a connected “digital thread” linking policy, technology, and the grid—are becoming essential to balancing speed, cost, and resilience while turning data centers into fully integrated energy ecosystems.

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...
