🏢 Colocation vs. Public Cloud: Cost, Performance, and How to Choose ☁️

For many organizations, the central infrastructure decision is whether to collocate or use the public cloud.

Both models offer compelling advantages – and trade-offs – across scalability, cost, security, and performance.

Our latest guide clarifies what sets colocation and public cloud apart and offers tips for choosing the right fit for your workloads.

🌆 Data Center Architects Reimagine Facilities as Urban Assets

Data centers are no longer just about power and connectivity – they’re now being judged on how they look and integrate into their communities.

With concerns over windowless, industrial structures, developers are embracing architecture as a strategic asset. Refined façades, thoughtful landscaping, and context-sensitive designs are transforming these facilities into urban assets that blend seamlessly into mixed-use districts.

Energy prices have surged by double digits since March amid Middle East turmoil, with electricity costs increasing in tandem. What does that mean for data centers?

Higher operating costs are the immediate impact, but the ripple effects are far-reaching. From increased backup power expenses to public scrutiny over energy consumption, data centers face mounting challenges.

The extent of the impact depends on location, energy mix, and infrastructure strategy.

Oxford Quantum Circuits, JPMorgan Chase, and AMD have launched a research collaboration centered on a new quantum AI computing platform designed to explore how quantum systems, AI, and high-performance classical infrastructure can work together on financial services applications.

The project will be based at a new quantum AI data center that OQC plans to build in London.

Will the EU’s Data Center Efficiency Rules Undermine Its AI Ambitions?

As the EU refines its strategies to compete with the US and China on chips, AI, and energy grids, data center groups warn that some proposals may prove counterproductive.

At Datacloud Global Congress in Cannes last week, Andrew Donoghue caught up with industry leaders who expressed concerns that overly prescriptive regulations could stifle investment and hinder Europe’s AI and digital ambitions.
