We’d love to see Enterprise Connect 2026 be the place where datacenter experts and IT pros can come together to build the ties and strengthen the collaboration that will benefit both enterprise users and the business. We’ve extended our Super Early Bird rate to register for the Conference, so you can still get in on the best prices for the IT/collaboration/CX tech industry’s largest independent event. I hope to see you March 10 – 12 in Las Vegas!

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As governments, utilities and enterprises race to meet unprecedented AI-driven demand, Data Center World, the premier global event for data center IT infrastructure and innovation, today announced a major international expansion with a slate of new events launching across key global markets in 2026.

From CES 2026 tech unveilings and mega AI fundraising to nuclear power deals and grid tensions – here’s a roundup of the latest data center headlines.

From record-breaking valuations and grid policy pressure to massive new builds and unconventional power solutions – here’s a look at the latest data center developments.

What an absolutely incredible week at Oracle AI World. From hands-on demos and deep technical discussions to late-night conversations with colleagues who feel more like family, this one hit different. It wasn’t just about “AI hype.” It was about real deployments, real industries, real outcomes.

Cloud outages, massive AI deployments, and a surge in renewable and natural gas projects – here’s what’s shaping the latest data center headlines.

Wade Vinson’s keynote absolutely set the tone: AI isn’t just the next wave, it’s the new electricity. His breakdown of post-training vs pre-training compute requirements (30x!) and NVIDIA’s “AI Factory” vision hit home.

From a devastating government outage and tech giants’ latest mega-deals to coal revivals and “cableless” racks – here’s a look at the latest data center news.

AI is rewriting the rules of resilience, power, and even how we think about infrastructure. From data recovery that used to take hours now collapsing into minutes, to megawatt racks that sound more like power plants than IT gear - the future is here, and it’s moving at breakneck speed.

Building a modern data center is only getting harder. Between tighter timelines, stretched supply chains, limited land availability, and complex permitting requirements, developers have their work cut out for them. Phased power delivery, temporary energy solutions, and more proactive logistical planning are becoming essential strategies to get facilities up and running faster with minimal risk. Let’s dig into construction hurdles plaguing data centers – and strategies for overcoming them.

Between the U.S. government taking an unprecedented stake in Intel, billion-dollar cloud deals, fires, community water restrictions in the Southwest, new large-scale power plants, and quantum-driven innovation, it’s been another eventful stretch for the data center world. Here’s a roundup of the latest news shaping the industry.

This one’s a big one. From final CLI battles with Juniper to liquid cooling tipping points, GPT-5 shaking up infrastructure, and even saying goodbye to AOL ( yes, really), there’s a lot to cover.

Big U.S. policy shifts, record-breaking AI spending, layoffs, energy challenges, and pockets of local resistance – here’s a look at the latest data center headlines.

Between new federal incentives, Big Tech’s record-breaking capex, revamped energy strategies, and continuing community resistance, the data center sector is balancing aggressive growth with growing hurdles. Let’s break down the latest data center developments you need to know.

Major workforce shifts, surging investments, and deepening energy concerns – the latest headlines show an industry at full tilt.

Let’s talk CLI nostalgia, Star Trek, and why AI is no longer knocking on the data center door, it’s already inside and rearranging the furniture.

In recent data center headlines, the scale keeps climbing – and so does the complexity. From billion-dollar deals and regulatory rumbles to energy status reports and nuclear power promises, here’s a look at the latest developments shaping the industry.

Hey friends, There’s “having a moment”… and then there’s redefining an entire industry. AI is doing the latter. And data centers? They’re right at the center of it all. Let’s dive in - 1. 🧠 The Infrastructure Renaissance Has Begun We're beyond the moment. Because of AI, it's a full-blown renaissance. And data centers? They’re right at the center of it all. AI isn’t incremental, it’s exponential. And it’s fundamentally rewriting the rules of performance - from silicon to cooling, from chip to chassis.

The data center industry is experiencing an unprecedented transformation as artificial intelligence drives explosive growth in power demands. This article reveals how the 2025 Data Center World Conference highlighted the collision between IT and power generation, with experts predicting US data center electricity consumption will skyrocket from 20 GW to potentially 66 GW within just three years. Natural gas emerges as a leading solution, with consumption by data centers expected to triple by 2030. The piece explores how industry leaders like VoltaGrid are developing innovative natural gas solutions, while tech giants including Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are investing billions in nuclear power. For anyone interested in energy markets, technology infrastructure, or investment opportunities in what Kevin O'Leary calls "today's gold rush," this article provides essential insights into the power challenges and creative solutions shaping the future of AI and data centers.

Hey friends, Just wrapped up a whirlwind few weeks across DICE National, keynotes, and backstage conversations with industry leaders, and I’ve got one word for you: transformation. We’re not just evolving. We’re hitting 1 megawatt per rack, testing superconductor cooling, and watching the financial backbone of infrastructure shift in real time. So let’s catch you up 👇
