Alex Stoewer, CEO of Greenlight Data Centers, outlines the data centre challenge as AI adoption is moving faster than infrastructure build out. Greenlight builds for the real world, one where extreme weather is normal, grid instability is rising and every hour of downtime costs millions. Alex discusses how Greenlight shortens build timelines through early utility partnerships, de-risks projects with local stakeholder engagement and future-proofs facilities against the kinds of failures that have shut down hyperscalers in recent years.

Legacy data centres - time for open heart surgery?!
  • Posted on 29th October 2025 in by Phil Alsop

Simon Harris, Director of Critical Infrastructure at BCS, discusses the role that legacy data centres have in supporting the development of AI, with inferencing seen as a major opportunity. Simon outlines the challenges of making legacy data centres ‘AI ready’, suggesting that many, if not all, such facilities, need to recognise the importance of refurbishment if they are not to miss out on not just the current AI boom, but also the ongoing, general digital transformation expansion.

Aston University helps tackle the soaring data centre energy use
  • Posted on 29th October 2025 in by Phil Alsop

Dr Aleksandr Donodin, based in the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies (AIPT), has received just one of 12 fellowship grants from The Royal Academy of Engineering to support his work examining fibre-optic networks to find solutions to the increasing power demands of data centres. Dr Donodin will be exploring the use of the networks and bringing together bismuth-doped fibre amplifiers which have tiny amounts of the metal bismuth added to them, and optical frequency combs which are used to measure and control light very accurately. It will be the first time this combination is explored in detail and if successful could cut power consumption in optical networks by 30–50% per bit. It will also enable O-band range of light wavelengths to reach transmission capacities beyond 200 terabytes per second.

Collaboration, connection times and capacity the key to delivering future data centre resilience
  • Posted on 29th October 2025 in by Phil Alsop

Pete Aston, Specialist Connections Engineer at Roadnight Taylor, discusses the findings of a new report Powering Great Britain’s Data Centre Ambitions, explaining how data centre developers are facing mounting grid connection challenges that can derail even the most promising projects. The interplay between technical, regulatory and commercial complexities in grid connections creates challenges that most developers underestimate until they’re deep into the process. Pete is confident that, with the right planning and collaboration in place, there is enough grid capacity to meet the data centre industry’s predicted increased power demands into the future.

Electronics visibility eliminates energy waste at the chip level, and beyond
  • Posted on 9th October 2025 in by Phil Alsop

Noam Brousard, Vice President, Solutions Engineering, proteanTecs, explains how semiconductors are straining under GenAI workloads such as model training, inference, and high-performance AI applications, and are quietly bleeding energy across data centres. proteanTecs has invented ML-driven deep data health & performance monitoring, which enables AI chipmakers to reclaim 8 - 14% in power savings without sacrificing performance, by eliminating the energy waste baked into traditional design. This also decreases the amount of water needed to cool down servers. For a data centre like Meta’s Hyperion, that would mean savings of up to 700 megawatts or enough power for more than 200,000 homes.
