According to a new report, Microsoft is preparing for another significant round of layoffs, potentially hitting in the third week of January. The cuts are allegedly needed to fund the massive costs of AI infrastructure, continuing a brutal trend for employees.
The AI data center boom is a power problem first. Investor Andrejka Bernatova argues for “disruptive decarbonization,” using cleaner fuels like natural gas today instead of waiting for perfect solutions. Her firm targets scalable, cash-flowing infrastructure assets to meet this massive demand.
Rowan Digital Infrastructure has started work on a massive $700 million, 300MW data center campus in Temple, Texas, aiming for a 2027 launch. The project leverages power infrastructure from an existing facility that recently lost its tenant and is being converted to a warehouse. This move highlights
PFAS, the notorious “forever chemicals,” are a massive environmental headache. BioLargo says its new Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC) can remove over 99% of them from water, including the hard-to-catch short-chain varieties, for a fraction of the cost of existing methods. The first commercia
Data centers are officially the “engines of modern life” in the UK, designated as critical national infrastructure. This move aims to scale digital capabilities for an AI economy, but it’s running into major real-world hurdles like hardware shortages and insane heat output from AI servers.
A new forecast outlines the biggest digital dangers on the horizon. The threats range from AI-driven scams to a dangerously centralized internet, and they’re evolving faster than ever.
In a massive bet on energy infrastructure, Google’s parent Alphabet is acquiring Intersect Power for $4.75 billion. The deal hands Google several gigawatts of in-development power and data center projects, crucial for its AI ambitions.
A new report shows 57% of European organizations are reshaping cloud strategy for sovereignty. But the path is fraught with higher costs, technical compromises, and complex new partnerships that may not deliver true independence.
A new report highlights a massive blind spot in data center metrics. Identical power and PUE ratings can hide a facility producing nearly twice the usable compute of another. The race for new megawatts is overlooking the power already stranded by thermal constraints.
The number of large hyperscale data centers has nearly tripled since 2018, now hitting 1,300 globally. The AI boom, especially post-ChatGPT, is accelerating investment, with the U.S. holding 55% of total capacity.
