Earlier this year, Zendo Energy emerged from stealth and launched an "Energy OS" to enhance energy procurement for the data center industry.

DCD speaks to Drew Barrett, COO at Zendo, about the launch and the broader energy market.

In this episode, DCD chats with Jason Eichenholz, CEO of Relativity Networks, about hollow core fiber (HCF). Eichenholz details the latest developments of the technology, plus its potential to support the AI data center boom, and whether HCF can have an impact on the telecoms sector. 

In this episode, we chat to Ben King, associate director with Rhodium Group's Energy & Climate practice, who provides an in-depth look into the US geothermal sector.

We explore the exciting world of enhanced geothermal power and how, if scaled, it could provide enough energy to meet skyrocketing data center demand across the US.

AI is changing how data centers operate, and particularly in the case of retrofit facilities, it is more important than ever that operators have all the data they need to ensure uptime. 

We talk to Jad Jebara, CEO and president of Hyperview - an AI-powered DCIM provider - about some of the pitfalls data center operators are falling into as they handle more demanding workloads, and how a surprising number of operators are still actually using Excel for capacity planning.

What does it take to run a cloud provider in 2025?

We chat to David Driggers about Cirrascale, a company older than the neoclouds, but without the deep pockets of the hyperscalers, about how the company is carving its own path in an increasingly crowded market.

Plus, we hear about the current AI inference market, and where growth opportunities lie.

In this podcast episode, we speak to Harry Keeling, head of business development - new markets at Rolls Royce.

Listen in to hear more about the rise of small modular reactors, Rolls Royce SMR’s business model, and the potential of SMRs in powering the data center sector.

With global political uncertainty, data sovereignty has become a key conversation for governments, enterprises, and cloud providers alike. 

In this episode, we talk to Civo’s Mark Boost about the importance of data sovereignty - as well as establishing a definition - and how this links to the ongoing issue of increasing competition in the cloud market beyond the US hyperscalers. 

We also touch on how the UK’s CMA investigation, and whether such anticompetitive investigations really go far enough.  

In this episode, we talk to Core Scientific COO Matt Brown about the company’s pivot away from housing cryptomining rigs to hosting GPUs for the likes of AI cloud firm CoreWeave.

We talk about the wider crypto market and why the move to AI hosting is becoming so common, the rise of the neoclouds and why they’re willing to work with companies that might not be used to working to Tier III-quality uptime requirements, and Matt’s own experience coming to the crypto space from world of traditional colo.

In this episode, we talk to Sainesh Vallabh, group chief commercial officer, Helios Towers, about the company’s strategic focus to drive tenants to its mobile tower infrastructure.

Sainesh explains the company’s plans for the year, opportunities to look at new markets, and the challenges that Africa and the Middle East present for Helios. 

In this episode, we are staying in the editorial team’s home county - the UK. Pulsant is a regional Edge provider focusing on the UK market, and has recently launched a new Sovereign Cloud offering. 

We talk with Pulsant’s CTO Mike Hoy about the data center industry in the UK in the context of the Labour government, how enterprise strategies are changing in relation to cloud deployments, and discuss the ongoing CMA investigation into the cloud services market. 

DCD's EiC Sebastian Moss talks to SDxCentral executive editor Dan Meyer about what it means for the two publications to work together, and what we can learn about the current tech cycle from previous booms and busts.

With the cloud market in a constant war for market share, alternative providers to the “big three” have emerged. 

With 32 regions globally, Vultr has a huge worldwide reach, and claims to be able to offer core cloud services (and GPUs) at a significantly lower cost than the hyperscalers. 

In this episode, Kevin Cochrane joins us to discuss the cloud computing market, how Vultr is able to offer its services for less, and the company's push into AI. 

Could changing just 30 lines of code in Linux help cut data center energy use?

In this episode, we speak to Professor Martin Karsten, professor of computer science at the University of Waterloo, and Joe Domato, distinguished engineer at Fastly, about their work optimizing the Linux kernel, which could have big implications if applied by digital infrastructure operators

In a compute world dominated by Nvidia, hyperscalers are looking to build out their own semiconductor infrastructure capable of training and inference workloads at scale.
We chat to AWS product manager Gadi Hutt about his company's approach, based on its 2016 Annapurna Labs acquisition. We talk about Trainium and Inferentia, how the company balances against its GPU fleet, and what it's cooking with Anthropic and Rainier.

In this episode, we talk to Cathy Kunkel, energy consultant at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, about a recent report she authored on the increased buildout of gas power plants and pipelines in the Southeast US, driven by the projected growth of data center load.

The start campus data center project has big dreams, aiming to build a 1.2GW data center campus in Sines, Portugal. 

While things have progressed on the campus, its entanglement in the corruption probe that saw the Prime Minister resign and led to the arrest of several of Start’s executives including then CEO Afonso Salema caused some hiccups.

With the charges now dropped (and a new CEO in place) and the first data center on the campus live, Start is back on the grind to see the project through to fruition. Omer Wilson, chief marketing officer at Start Campus, talks to DCD about the project, and addresses the issue of starting again, after such a disruption.

In this episode, we talk to Julian Hennessy, projects director at Telehouse Europe, about the company’s most recent project in the London Docklands area.

The Telehouse South facility was entirely retrofitted with a mission to strive for better sustainability. Julian explains the challenges and the benefits of retrofitting in the London data center landscape.

Carrie Goetz is the definition of an industry veteran. With decades of experience, she now works as a “fractional CTO” via her StrategITcom company, but over the years she has done a lot of outreach work to bring in new faces to the sector, not to mention the several books she has written. 

Tune in to hear about Goetz’ career so far, and her perspective on how we can bring in a new generation of data center obsessives 

US scientific research institutions are under attack. DOGE-led cuts to National Science Foundation funding, caps on indirect research costs, firings at the National Institute of Health, layoffs at the Department of Energy, and more will profoundly weaken the US' scientific standing.
But what does this mean for the country, for companies, and for the data center sector?

We speak to the 'father of the Internet' Vint Cerf, co-developer of the TCP/IP protocol, about why the Internet had to come out of government-backed research, what he learned from his time at the National Science Board, and how we can win back our future.

From visionary bets in Yahoo, Alibaba, and Arm, to disastrous gambles on WeWork and Vision Funds, SoftBank's Masayoshi Son has defied both logic and expectations. Self-styled as a modern Genghis Khan, the once richest man in the world has rolled the dice yet again, plowing money into OpenAI and Stargate. 

What can we learn from his past? We talk to Lionel Barber, author of Gambling Man: The Wild Ride of Japan’s Masayoshi Son.
