Ahead of the event in March, Data Centre Magazine sat down with Karl Havard, Chief Operating Officer at Nscale.
Karl has more than 25 years of experience in the IT, Cloud and AI industries. He has previously held senior leadership roles inside AWS and Google as well as building and leading start-up businesses in the HPC and Generative AI cloud service provider industry.
During Data Centre LIVE, Karl will be taking part in the AI-Ready Infrastructure panel.
What inspired you to get involved in Data Centre LIVE?
Having previously represented last year, I am keen to do so again to bring some further awareness and transparency of what it takes to house generative AI infrastructure in the right way for customers and the environment.
Provide an overview of what your panel will focus on.
Nscale is a Hyperscaler purposely engineered for AI, therefore the session will be focused on the specific requirements and demands needed of data centres today – and in the future – to provide Gen AI services.
What do you hope to achieve through the event?
I hope to create awareness and encourage those who need access to this technology to undertake a high degree of due diligence to select the right partner, as opposed to assuming the 'default' option has everything covered.
What emerging trends do you believe will shape the future of the data centre industry over the next decade?
Already we can see how the Generative AI infrastructure and the power demands of this technology are changing the DC landscape. The demand for this technology is outstripping the supply and that supply needs to be located and housed in the right environment.
