Meet Rackvio — cloud-native DCIM. Model your sites, visualize every rack in 2D/3D, map power chains, and know exactly how much capacity you have left to sell. No spreadsheets. No months-long deployments. Free 30-day trial → https://t.co/Qwn6x8widY
Your data center runs below capacity it already paid for.
Sold. Provisioned. Consumed. Most systems track one number. The gaps typically hide 15–35% recoverable capacity, with no new construction.

An eight billion dollar bet on backup power says a lot about how seriously hyperscalers are treating resiliency right now. The next challenge is making sure that generator capacity is actually visible and tracked in real time alongside the rest of the power chain.
Space based data centers are a fascinating thought experiment, but the gating factors named here, thermal, bandwidth, launch costs, are ones operators already fight on the ground. Visibility into those constraints separates a good plan from a costly surprise.
Space-based #DataCenters are edging closer to reality, but physics and economics remain the gating factors.

What’s the biggest gating factor: thermal, bandwidth, launch costs, power, or customer readiness?
This is the question every operator is wrestling with right now. As rack densities climb, real time visibility into power draw and thermal headroom is what will determine whether energy storage can actually keep pace.
⚡ AI is changing the power demands of the data center. Is energy storage ready to keep up?
Join the Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP) on September 30for a free live Educational Webinar exploring how AI workloads, increasing rack densities, evolving safety standards and sustainability requirements are reshaping energy storage across the modern data center.
Energy Storage Across the Modern Data Center: Evolving Standards, Sustainability, and AI-Related Power Quality
📅Wednesday, September 30, 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM ET
��� Live Virtual Event
🎟️ Free to attend
As AI infrastructure scales, highly dynamic workloads and synchronized GPU activity are creating new challenges for power delivery and power quality. At the same time, energy storage is moving beyond its traditional role as backup power, with new approaches bringing storage closer to the compute itself.
Our panel of experts will explore:
🔹How AI workloads and higher rack densities are changing energy storage requirements
🔹 The impact of evolving standards including UL 9540A and NFPA 855-2026
🔹 The role of energy storage in managing GPU power transients and on-site generation
🔹 Sustainability, lifecycle impacts, recyclability and responsible battery sourcing
🔹 What operators should consider when evaluating energy storage for future AI infrastructure
Hear perspectives from:
🎤 Jay Dietrich, Research Director, Sustainability and Energy, Uptime Institute
🎤 Jake Whitacre, Senior Product Manager, ZincFive
🎤 Dr. Matthew Raiford, Senior Technical Director, CBI
🎤 James Kelly, VP Market Intelligence and Innovation, Open Compute Project Foundation
Whether you work in data center power, infrastructure design, electrical engineering, hardware, sustainability, energy storage or safety, this is an opportunity to hear from experts about a rapidly evolving part of the AI infrastructure stack.

@packetfabric@MSP_Summit Hope you have a great show in Orlando. Always good to see the network automation conversation continuing at events like MSP Summit.
@megaportnetwork Looking forward to this one. AI workloads are changing the assumptions network teams have relied on for years, visibility into GPU heavy traffic patterns is becoming essential.
@Cologix4Colo Exciting growth for COL5. As space fills up, clear visibility into capacity and power headroom becomes even more critical for planning the next phase.
@DataCenters_QTS Investing in the next generation of skilled tradespeople is exactly what this industry needs as demand for new capacity keeps climbing. Congrats to the QTS team on the commitment.
Power access is quickly becoming the top constraint on data center growth. Strong utility and community partnerships matter, and so does having real time visibility into how that power is actually being consumed once it reaches the rack.
Access to power shapes data center growth, but partnership drives progress. CEO Andrew Schaap shares why collaboration with utilities and communities is key. Learn more: https://t.co/ndHNaSZWxG #Infrastructure#Sustainability
@StreamDataCentr Great to see the Phoenix team giving back to the community. Moments like these are what make this industry more than just concrete and servers.
@7x24Exchange Looking forward to seeing who is heading to San Antonio for the 2026 Fall Conference. These educational forums are always packed with practical insight for mission critical facility teams.
@dcfrontier If you have a permitting, incentive or workforce story worth sharing, the DCFtrends 2027 call for speakers is worth a look before it closes September 30.
@TeamARIN The business case for IPv6 adoption is still underappreciated by a lot of teams. Hope John Sweeting's session at ABQNOG reaches a wide audience.
@ubersmith The point about provisioning steps already being known but not automated really resonates. Reducing manual handoffs is often where the biggest operational wins hide.
@DataCenterWorld Looking forward to seeing the full track lineup for #DataCenterWorld. Design, construction and supply chain content is always relevant.
@ripencc Free training on IPv6 fundamentals, the RIPE database and BGP routing security in Saint Julian's is a fantastic opportunity. Hope to see strong turnout.
