A tour of Ecolab’s CoolIT Systems manufacturing and R&D operations in Calgary shows what happens when direct liquid cooling moves from specialized engineering into industrial-scale AI infrastructure.

Mark Ortiz, Head of Segment Solution Consulting at Schneider Electric, explains why an energy park should be treated as long-term infrastructure, not just a temporary bridge to utility service.

September moves by Anthropic and OpenAI are pushing frontier AI infrastructure across new markets, providers and financing structures, as gigawatt-scale compute commitments collide with the harder realities of capital, power and project delivery.

Amazon has committed to an initial $2.4 billion of Generac backup generators for its data centers, with purchases potentially reaching $8 billion as hyperscalers move to secure increasingly constrained power infrastructure.

Samsung/Mousterian, Seatrium, Mocean Energy and Atomarine are pursuing radically different offshore paths to AI capacity, from 30 MW modular barges to 200 MW concepts and wave-powered compute, as marine engineering, permitting and environmental questions remain unresolved.

Virginia's data centers are far more than buildings filled with servers. They represent the foundation of America's digital infrastructure investment, a source of sustained prosperity for Virginia communities, and a strategic asset that will help determine the nation's technological leadership for decades...

For years, the data center industry’s biggest constraints were largely physical, centered on power, transmission, land, water, equipment and labor. As the AI infrastructure buildout accelerates, however, another constraint is moving rapidly to the foreground. The constraint, and the concern, is whether host communities, regulators and policymakers believe the next generation of data centers ...

The Data Center Insights Council (DCIC) is EndeavorB2B's invitation-only community built for data center professionals who want to make their voices heard. As a member, you'll participate in paid research studies, access exclusive industry reports through our Knowledge Center, connect with peers in ...

DCF’s Q3 2026 Executive Roundtable examines how AI-scale density, expanding definitions of critical infrastructure and compressed deployment timelines are forcing data center operators to rethink resilience, system integration and the tradeoffs between speed and rigor.

OIX board member Ilissa Miller joins the DCF Show to explain how communities can plan for AI data centers before projects arrive, why digital infrastructure belongs in long-range land-use planning, and how earlier engagement can help developers address concerns over power, water, land use and community...

At Data Centre West in Calgary, hyperscalers, colocation operators, utilities and infrastructure developers focused less on why Alberta should become a major data center market than on the harder questions now confronting it: credible power, AI inference, cooling, grid flexibility and community license...

The OCP Summit is the premier event uniting the most forward-thinking minds in open IT ecosystem development. The Summit presents a unique platform for the OCP Community from around the globe to share their insights, foster partnerships and showcase cutting-edge advancements in open hardware and software...
