Podcast: Data Center, Communications and Power Infrastructure Confluence Forum

Sept. 10, 2024
Probing the rapidly expanding shared stakes and implications for data center, ICT, fiber broadband, and on-site power infrastructure in the age of advanced computing for AI/ML, IoT, 5G LTE, all flavors of Ethernet, and other pertinent technology applications.

As everyone on the Data Center Frontier and Endeavor Business Media (EBM) teams regroups from last week's sold-out DCF Trends Summit (Sept. 4-6) conference in Reston, Virginia, for today's episode of the DCF Show Podcast we bring you something a bit different.

Recorded earlier this year, EBM's Data Center, Communications, and Power Infrastructure Confluence Forum is a shared discussion among the lead editors of key brands and publications in EBM's Digital Infrastructure and Energy Groups.

The discussion frames and addresses the topic of rapidly expanding stakes and implications for the data center, information and communications technology (ICT), fiber broadband, and on-site power generation infrastructure sectors in the age of advanced computing and connectivity for AI/ML, IoT, 5G LTE, all flavors of Ethernet, and other pertinent technology applications.

EBM editors in order of their participation in this discussion include:

00:00 - 14:00 - Matt Vincent, Editor in Chief, Data Center Frontier
14:02 - 26:13 - Patrick McLaughlin, Editorial Director, Cabling Installation & Maintenance
26:13 - 33:51 - Joe Gilliard, Executive Editor, ISE | ICT Solutions & Education
33:52 - 42:11 - Sean Buckley, Editor in Chief, Lightwave and Broadband Pulse (podcast)
42:12 - 1:06 - Rod Walton, Chief Editor, Microgrid Knowledge

The discussion winds up with a bit of cross-questioning among the editors.

We at Data Center Frontier hope you'll enjoy this podcast, and will resume with our regular, data center industry-specific coverage later this month.
