Bought the AI hardware. Now where does it go? Over the past 18 months, businesses have invested heavily in AI infrastructure - but many are discovering that where to house it is a separate problem entirely. AI workloads demand far more power, cooling and connectivity than conventional server setups, and existing server rooms often weren't built to handle them. That's why a growing number of organisations are turning to colocation. "We're speaking with organisations that have made significant investment in AI infrastructure and now need to land it somewhere quickly," says Ben Taylor, National Data Centre Manager at Interactive. "The priority for many customers is simply getting their infrastructure live in a secure, reliable environment. Colocation gives them that path without the time, cost and complexity of building their own facility." The benefits go beyond speed. With hardware already housed in our data centres, the move to private cloud and managed services becomes far simpler down the track. As Ben puts it: "If we're already that colocation provider, the progression to managed services is a cross-connect away, not a project." Whether you're scaling new AI capacity or rethinking ageing infrastructure, the real question isn't what to buy - it's finding an environment that can support it.
