Cities Worldwide Build and Scale AI Services With NVIDIA Physical and Agentic AI

Cities generate enormous amounts of data from cameras, sensors and operational systems, but turning it into useful action — for planning, maintenance and public services — remains a challenge. Physical and agentic AI offer new ways to close that gap, from digital twins for infrastructure planning to vision and service agents, while keeping local governments…

EU Battery Passport: What it means for battery traceability and circularity

EU Battery Passport: What it means for battery traceability and circularity

The global energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources relies heavily on batteries. They power smartphones, laptops, vehicles, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and – increasingly – homes, data centers, and industrial operations. But despite their benefits, batteries can pose challenges, especially in disposal,...

Colocation and AI: Why trust, transparency, and standards become design requirements

Colocation and AI: Why trust, transparency, and standards become design requirements

For years, colocation was built around a relatively simple proposition: The operator provides the facility, the customer provides the IT, and both sides agree on service levels. Customers purchased space, power, cooling, and connectivity. In return, they expected reliable infrastructure, security, and uptime, with clearly...

AI colocation cooling: How US neoclouds specify liquid-cooled multi-tenant capacity

AI colocation cooling: How US neoclouds specify liquid-cooled multi-tenant capacity

Author: Mike Donahue, Solution Architect, North America Operations A neocloud can secure colocation space and electrical capacity yet still lack the cooling conditions its GPU racks require. A facility’s advertised rack density leaves important questions unanswered: what happens during maintenance, how the system responds to...

The AI ecosystem: How partnerships power AI infrastructure

The AI ecosystem: How partnerships power AI infrastructure

In the not-too-distant past, data center infrastructure decisions largely centered on individual components such as racks, servers, power management, and cooling. But AI and high-performance compute (HPC) have changed that model. As compute becomes more powerful and infrastructure more complex, it takes an ecosystem of...
