Nvidia AI Factories: Why Revenue Sharing Hit Pause
Nvidia's 2026 AI cloud financing model paired take-or-pay guarantees with revenue sharing, then some deals paused amid internal competition concerns.
Meta Data Center Water: What Talavera Tells Us
Meta's Talavera data center switched to dry-air cooling, cutting cooling water sharply, while 2026 documents still show different water figures.
Lidl Owner Plans €5.6B, 240 MW Data Center in Germany
Schwarz Group plans up to €5.6B for a 240 MW German data center by 2033, tying Lidl's owner to Europe's sovereign cloud push.
Germany Data Centers: 120 Projects, 5 GW at Stake
A new map tracks 120 German data center projects with at least 5 GW of planned grid capacity, exposing the power and planning challenge.
Datacenter Cooling: Can Waste Heat Replace Power?
A 2026 prototype used waste heat to drive solid-state cooling, but its 4.0 K device-level result is still far from datacenter deployment.
Managing Dedicated Circuits Between Data Centers
How to manage private lines between data centers: circuit inventory, contracts, latency and loss monitoring, backup paths, failover, alarms and cost.
Server Warranties, Contracts and Spare Parts in One Place
Organizations can manage server warranties, maintenance contracts, vendors, and spare parts in one system by linking them to the same asset identity.
What Is an AI Data Center? Key Differences Explained
How an AI data center differs from a traditional one, and what it has to manage: power, cooling, networking, storage, metrics and Kubernetes.
Liquid Cooling Monitoring: CDU, Loop and Distribution Branch
What to monitor in a CDU, liquid cooling loop and distribution branch: temperatures, flow, pressure, valves, leaks, collection health and rack mapping.
Automating Data Centers With Approvals, RBAC, Rollback and Audit
Enterprises can automate data center operations safely by separating observation from change and separating low-risk actions from high-risk ones.
Detecting Stranded Data Center Capacity, Power to Storage
How to find stranded data center capacity by comparing free space, power, cooling, network and storage headroom against a real deployment profile.
How to Build an Asset Lifecycle From Procurement to Retirement
How to run one hardware asset record through procurement, acceptance, deployment, maintenance, optimization and retirement so no history gets lost.
How to Automate Data Center Hardware Health Inspections
How to replace manual data center checks with scheduled hardware inspections, exception reports, and work orders for the findings that need action.

Why free U positions are not deployable capacity, and how to plan racks around power headroom, cooling, network ports, reservations and growth forecasts.
Automatically Discover and Maintain Hardware Inventory
How data centers keep hardware inventories accurate with automatic discovery, stable identifiers, reconciliation and change history.
High-Density GPU Data Centers: Power, Racks and Cooling
High density GPU data centers should manage capacity as a set of simultaneous physical constraints, not as a count of empty racks.
Monitoring Server Power at Device, Rack and Site Level
Organizations can monitor and manage server power consumption by building a hierarchy from individual devices to racks, zones, and the full data center.
How Liquid Cooling Monitoring Works in High Density Data Centers
How to monitor liquid cooling as one chain: CDUs, distribution branches, temperature, flow, pressure, leak detection, alerts and valve control.
Inside Vertiv: Working at the Data Center Giant
What working at Vertiv is like, from people in the field: heavy travel and workload for UPS technicians, decent culture in some offices, and fast learning.
When a Commercial Zabbix Upgrade Makes Sense
Zabbix gathers metrics well but can't reach a dead OS or track assets. Here is when data centers need out-of-band control, an automated CMDB and support.
