Hyperscale data centers are engineering marvels. They're also becoming politically radioactive. Communities are saying no to the water draw, the substation, the noise, the truck traffic. And every "no" is slowing down the AI economy that depends on this infrastructure. There's a quieter answer hiding in plain sight: edge data centers. Under 10MW. Sitting inside the population centers they serve, not 200 miles away. Built for the community, not against it. "The Data Center Next Door," a short read on why the next wave of digital infrastructure won't look anything like the last one, and why the smartest operators are building both ends of the continuum. Would love to hear how you're thinking about edge in your own roadmap. #EdgeComputing #EdgeDataCenters #DataCenters #DigitalInfrastructure #AIInfrastructure #AIInference #Hyperscale #CloudComputing #5G #IoT #LowLatency #DataGravity #ColocationServices #SmartCities #SustainableInfrastructure #TheEdge #FutureOfCompute #CriticalInfrastructure
