DCFTS 2024 Session 12: Ensuring Future Cloud and AI/ML Workloads at the Juncture of Power, Land, Regulation and Communications Infrastructure

Here's an audio recording of Session 12 from the inaugural Data Center Frontier Trends Summit, held Sept 4-6, 2024, in Reston, Virginia.

Session Description from 2024 DCF Trends Summit Program:

Ensuring Future Cloud and AI/ML Workloads at the Juncture of Power, Land, Regulation and Communications Infrastructure

This panel discussion pulls in experts from a range of data center operations to probe the crucial intersection of power, land, regulation, and communications infrastructure elements to support perennially rising cloud and AI/ML workloads. As providers chase power, finding the right locations that have (or can develop) all of these key attributes in a synchronized fashion is a substantial challenge. The panel will share examples of where striking this balance has worked well, and where it has not worked as well.
