This week's Podcast looks at the journey the industry has been on with AI. Over the last few years the only story in town has been Training. Huge investments with no capital return. Now it's the time of Inference. A product can be packaged and monetised and for the companies that get it right, huge financial gain.  Support the show

This week we dive into the biggest Datacenter market on Earth, The USA. The US has always led the way in Datacenters but over the last few years the growth has been extraordinary. And what's remarkable, it looks like this is just the warm up act, the real growth is yet to come.  Support the show

This week we dive into what I think is the next gold rush in the UK for Datacenters, Sovereign Cloud. It's gone under the radar but new Government led legislation will mean public sector, pharma, banking and finance etc will be looking to host their Crown Jewels on UK soil.  Support the show

This week we look at why utilising existing datacenters is a smarter was to bring much needed capacity to the market. We dive into the benefits of refresh rather than new build and what's involved.  Support the show

This week we look at whats involved in deploying the NVIDIA GB300 GPU. The traditional deployment infrastructure goes out the window and a new kind of architecture is required.  Support the show

This week we look at the NVIDIA LPX and discuss what a game changer it is for AI Inference. We also look at the challenging of actually deploying these AI Monsters in Datacenters.  Support the show

This week we dive into the world of AI Inference. Last week was about the Training models, Inference is the output from that. We look at what it is, how it happens and how critical it will become in our lives by 2030.  Support the show

This week we dive into single and two phase cooling. As datacenters are being challenged with higher and higher density workloads, liquid cooled solutions are the only way forward. We look at the different technologies and what works best for what application.  Support the show

This week we look at why giving legacy DC's a new lease of life can be a far more attractive proposition than a new build. Speed to market, existing infrastructure and embodied carbon footprint are all compelling reasons why old sites can become new sites.   Support the show

This weeks podcast looks at the Starlink system and how it works. Its a clever bit of kit and we dive into the technical side as well as the commercial opportunities it brings to the market.  Support the show

This week we dive into the exciting announcement by Google that it's looking at deploying datacenters in space to overcome power grid issues. It's a bold move and we go though the challenges and benefits of this extra terrestrial ambition.  Support the show

This weeks episode dives into the world of GPU's and how NVIDIA has taken the world by storm. Who are buying these GPUs, where are they being deployed and what are they being used for.  Support the show

This week we look at how Amazon (AWS) blew the markets away with their quarterly earning and what is driving this growth. AI is a big driver but its just once part of the bigger picture for AWS cloud services.  Support the show

This weeks Podcast looks at Nscale, a start up less than 18months old which has taken the Neocloud market by storm. Nscale's meteoric rise is mind blowing and this episode unpacks who they are, what they do, who've they've partnered with and where they are going.  Support the show

This week we look at Datacenters in Space and the moon. Now bear with me, sounds a bit Star Trek but we are closer to this happening than we think. This episode dives into the possibility of Space Datacenters.  Support the show

This weeks Podcast looks at the crazy amounts of money being spent on buying existing and new Datacenter infrastructure all driven by the need to service and deploy AI.  Support the show
