Data centres power GenAI

November 17, 2025

GENERATIVE AI HAS undeniably shifted from a research frontier toa transformative force, reshaping industries from code development and product design to legal drafting and creative content generation. While the public imagination often fixates on the astonishing capabilities of large language models (LLMs), thetrue, often unseen, enabler of this unprecedented scale and sophistication is the modern data centre. Witnessing the growth of space over years, I see firsthand how our infrastructure isn’t just supporting innovation; it’s actively architecting the future of intelligence.

Training a frontier-scale LLM is of immense resource-intensity. Models with hundreds ofbillions of parameters demand thousands of high-performance GPUs. Datacentres must integrate high-speed interconnects and advanced orchestration systems to ensure data flows between nodesinmilliseconds.Atits core, data is the foundation of GenAl. Vast and meticulously curated datasets—encompassing text, images, audio, and video, must be stored, processed, and delivered to training systems at high speeds. This necessitates high-throughput storage solutions and intelligent datamanagement platforms.
