📅 - Bulk Expands Its OS-IX Data Center in Oslo, Norway - By constructing three more data halls, Bulk Infrastructure has greatly increased the size of its Oslo Internet Exchange (OS-IX) data center, which is one of Norway's most networked facilities. Bulk Infrastructure claims that this development coincides with an increasing number of companies moving toward colocation and hybrid cloud strategies in place of outdated on-premises systems and public cloud platforms.
The move would reflect a growing demand for tighter control over costs, enhanced security, and stricter compliance with data sovereignty requirements.
According to Rob Elder, Chief Commercial Officer at Bulk Infrastructure, this trend is particularly strong among enterprises and [...]
📅 - AI Boom Drives Global Rise in Water-Hungry Data Centers - The environmental cost of powering artificial intelligence is rising at an accelerating rate. According to Bloomberg, data centers are becoming more and more concentrated in areas that are already experiencing severe water shortages, which is causing the AI revolution to quickly worsen global water stress. This tendency would pose increasing difficulties for local communities as well as the sustainability objectives of the digital behemoths propelling the AI revolution.
Huge amounts of water and electricity are needed to run data centers, which are enormous buildings with servers that store, analyze, and send data. It takes a lot of water to cool the servers, especially when using [...]
