Power, Cooling, and Risk: What It Takes to Bring a 100MW AI Data Center Online

Power, Cooling, and Risk: What It Takes to Bring a 100MW AI Data Center Online

The industry knows how to build data centers. What it’s still figuring out is how to turn on AI factories at scale. With facilities now crossing 100 megawatts—far beyond the 5 to 10 megawatt norm of traditional builds—operators are no longer just validating equipment. They’re testing whether entire systems—power, cooling, controls, and the teams behind…

The Next Data Center Bottleneck Isn’t Power or Cooling — It’s People: The Data Center Workforce

The Next Data Center Bottleneck Isn’t Power or Cooling — It’s People: The Data Center Workforce

With the rapid rise of AI workloads, data centers are being built with higher power density, stricter reliability expectations, and cooling technologies that are evolving faster than most teams can adapt. As a result, these facilities aren’t just getting bigger—they’re becoming harder to operate, harder to staff, and far less forgiving when something goes…

AI Is Forcing a Rethink of Data Center Infrastructure at Every Level

AI Is Forcing a Rethink of Data Center Infrastructure at Every Level

The data center industry is being redefined by AI’s demand for faster, denser, and more scalable infrastructure. According to McKinsey, average rack power densities have more than doubled in just two years. It went from approximately 8 kW to 17 kW, and is expected to hit 30 kW by 2027. Global data center power demand is projected…
