Hey friends,
Here’s the thing: infrastructure isn’t just racks, pipes, and megawatts anymore. It’s becoming the nervous system of the digital world. And right now, that system is getting rewired at breakneck speed.
Let’s dive in 👇

5. 📍 Highlights from Data Center Frontier Summit
“Every data center is becoming an AI data center.”
This year’s DCF Summit was electric ⚡ from edge to innovation. My biggest takeaways:
- Connectivity is the new baseline (no intelligent interconnect = liability).
- AI is reshaping design - greenfield beats retrofits.
- Edge is here - powering real-world use cases today.
- Partnerships with power are unlocking massive opportunities.
- Culture matters - innovation isn’t just tech, it’s mindset.
The message was clear: we’re not just building data centers anymore. We’re building the AI factories of the future.
6. 🎥 QuickChat: Summit Guide with Matt Vincent
Before the event, I sat down with Matt Vincent to walk through the agenda, the sessions, and the big themes driving the future. It’s your companion guide to the Summit. 👉 Watch the video
That’s a lot, but that’s the pace of our world right now. AI is pushing every limit: cooling, power, design, even culture. And honestly? I’m here for it.
I’ve been sharing these thoughts (and a lot more) on LinkedIn, and I’d love to hear your take there. Do you think innovation is innate, or something we can (and must) teach?
Stay tuned, stay curious, and stay excited!
