As data center operators build generation behind the meter, utilities and regulators are defining a new boundary between private power, continued grid access, and who pays for the public system that remains available behind it.

Crane, rigging, and heavy-haul work may sit within a single trade scope, according to ProLift Rigging's Bill Tierney, but on complex data center projects, the work itself can affect the broader construction sequence.

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.

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...

A week of billion-dollar financings, massive compute contracts, energy-first data center projects and new development rules offered a revealing look at where the AI infrastructure boom is headed next.

At two former coal-generation sites in western Pennsylvania, Aligned Data Centers and Homer City are pursuing contrasting paths to AI-scale power—one through behind-the-meter generation, the other through multi-gigawatt centralized natural gas generation alongside a proposed AWS campus.

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.

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...

As AI data centers introduce larger and faster swings in electricity demand, ON.energy’s VP of Engineering Asser Elsamahy says medium-voltage battery systems can help decouple what compute loads demand from what the grid actually sees.

Join Sherwin-Williams experts for a discussion on the evolving role of high-performance coatings in data center design and construction. Panelists will review coating considerations across structural steel, fire protection, flooring, roofing, exterior envelope systems and modular construction.

AI and high-performance computing are changing how data centers are designed and powered. Rack densities have more than doubled in recent years, and power demands continue to climb. For data center operators and engineers, the pressure to scale faster, reconfigure more often, and support higher loads has made the power distribution decisions more important than ever.This QuickChat video will focus...

Vamsi Krishna Mokkapati, Technical Director of R&D at Nimbus Advanced Process Cooling, explains why design-point water consumption should not be the only important specification when evaluating adiabatic cooling.

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.

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.

The OCP Summit is the premier event uniting the most forward-thinking minds in open IT ecosystem development.
