What happened

C&D Technologies: Data Centre Podcast on AI, Edge and Power As demand for high-density compute accelerates, data centre operators are being pushed to deliver more power at a pace that existing infrastructure was not necessarily designed to handle.

Why it matters

The result is a growing pressure point between the speed of AI development and the time it takes to build, connect and protect the infrastructure behind it.

Common ground

That tension is at the heart of the latest episode of the Data Centre Podcast, where host Matt High speaks with Gerrit Barnard, Director of Sales EMEA at C&D Technologies, about how operators can prepare for the next generation of AI infrastructure.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
