Happy International Women’s Day 👏
#InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026
Interesting to hear more discussion around the operational side of AI environments. It mirrors a lot of what we see with customers, there’s still plenty to figure out when it comes to AI ops and how these platforms are run day to day.
A few snapshots from the floor at #DCW2026
With AI and HPC workloads continuing to drive demand for advanced infrastructure, it’s great to see the pace of innovation and growth across the data centre industry.
📍Data Centre World London today.
Roco brought a clipboard and has been very busy taking notes. On what, we’re not entirely sure, but there’s plenty to see!

Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day!

The next constraint on large-scale compute won’t be silicon or power. It will be water.
In our new blog, Khaled Mahjoubi, Senior HPC Managed Service Specialist, explains why data centre water use matters for sustainable HPC.

Post-event fuel done right. A great time in Belgium with the team, mezze in the middle of the table and Roco somehow very full for someone who “wasn’t that hungry”.

Roco’s back from #SC25, slightly jet lagged and still figuring out what time zone he’s in. His write up’s now live - covering key conversations, tech highlights and takeaways for the months ahead.
He’ll miss HPC Club tonight but hopes to see many of you at CIUK.

Roco (and Nick) wrapped up a great week at #SC25, with plenty of time on the floor, good conversations and some fun evening events. We even ended up pitch-side in St Louis, go City! ⚽️
Best part of #SC25? Running into old friends. Even the ones who refuse to break character.
#RocoWasHere
Catching a couple of moments around St Louis during #SC25, with Roco and the Red Oak team making the most of the sights.
