GXO: Orchestrating Global Hyperscale Logistics Operations

Delivering infrastructure at speed while keeping projects coordinated and hardware in the right place has become a critical part of bringing new capacity online.

To explore these challenges, Data Centre Magazine, in association with GXO Logistics, is hosting the webinar, From Capital to Compute: Orchestrating Hyperscale Logistics Operations at Global Scale.

The session will examine how logistics and supply chain planning have become essential to successful hyperscale deployments, offering practical insight from leaders managing large-scale infrastructure programmes.

Why logistics is becoming a strategic priority

As data centre projects increase in size and complexity, traditional operating models are being tested by tighter timelines and simultaneous global deployments.

The webinar will explore how operators can improve deployment velocity by involving supply chain teams earlier in the planning process.

Instead of responding to issues as they emerge, organisations are more often using logistics as a strategic planning function to improve visibility, coordinate execution and help turn investment into operational compute more quickly.

Attendees will hear how stronger collaboration between planning, procurement and deployment teams can help reduce delays while supporting more efficient infrastructure rollouts.

What attendees will learn

The session will cover the operational realities of executing at hyperscale, including the pressures created by expanding infrastructure across multiple locations at once.

Key discussions will include:

• How earlier planning decisions can strengthen project execution
• Why inventory positioning and real-time visibility have become increasingly important
• How organisations manage changing infrastructure requirements without disrupting delivery schedules

The speakers will also examine the balance between accelerating deployments and maintaining capital efficiency, sharing practical approaches to bringing capacity online while limiting unnecessary cost and operational risk.

Meet the speakers

The webinar features two logistics leaders from GXO with extensive experience supporting data centre infrastructure projects.

Donna Del Rosso, Senior Vice President of Data Center Logistics at GXO, will share insights into the operational strategies behind large-scale deployments.

She will be joined by Nicholas Baranski, Vice President of Operations at GXO, who will discuss the execution challenges involved in coordinating inventory, construction and deployment activities across complex projects.

The discussion will be moderated by Ella Wilkinson, Director of BizClik Studio, who will guide the conversation and audience questions.

The webinar will provide practical insight into how leading organisations are adapting logistics strategies to support the next phase of hyperscale data centre growth.
