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, 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.

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.

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.
