Many organizations entered the cloud with a simple assumption. One platform. One environment. One long-term strategy. Today that assumption is being challenged. Rising cloud costs, changing licensing models, and increasing performance requirements are pushing IT leaders to rethink how infrastructure should be deployed and managed. Flexibility, cost predictability, and operational control are becoming executive-level priorities. Join our upcoming webinar to explore why choice has become the new enterprise cloud strategy and how organizations are supporting multiple infrastructure models to reduce risk and maintain control. 📅 April 23 🕒 12:00pm – 1:00pm EDT.

Most of the work that matters never gets seen. It happens below the surface. At IAD5, that work is already in motion. From underground utilities to fiber and power infrastructure, every step being taken now is what enables everything that comes next. It takes coordination. It takes precision. It takes a team aligned on doing it right the first time. Appreciation to the teams driving this progress forward and setting the foundation for long-term performance. Looking forward to what this site becomes. #datacenters #infrastructure #construction #digitalinfrastructure #engineering AECOM Tishman

AI is everywhere right now. New models. New capabilities. New expectations. It can feel limitless. Almost abstract. Like it exists entirely in software. The reality is very different. AI runs on physical infrastructure. Every model trained, every prompt processed, every output generated depends on compute power inside data centers. Rows of servers. Power systems delivering constant energy. Cooling systems removing heat in real time. Network infrastructure moving data at scale. All working together, every second. As AI workloads grow, so does the demand behind them. Higher-density racks. More power per cabinet. New cooling approaches designed for increasing heat loads. This is not just a software evolution. It is an infrastructure shift. The conversation around AI often focuses on what it can do. Less attention is given to what it requires to operate at scale. That foundation is what makes everything else possible. The future of AI will not only be defined by models. It will be defined by the infrastructure that supports them. What part of AI infrastructure do you think will face the most pressure as demand grows?

What makes a strong team? It is not just experience or structure. It is how people show up for each other. In this clip, Sarah Chen, MBA, our Field Marketing Manager, shares her experience since joining the team. A culture where collaboration is not forced. It feels natural. Different perspectives are welcomed, especially when shaping how the brand shows up through events and new opportunities. Even in a small team, everyone plays a meaningful role. That kind of environment creates something important. Confidence. The ability to ask questions, explore new ideas, and contribute without hesitation. Because people feel supported, they are able to do their best work. That is what ultimately shapes how a brand is experienced from the outside. Take a listen to Sarah’s perspective.

Progress is measured in systems coming together. At our Lithia Springs campus, ATL5 and ATL6 are entering a critical phase where infrastructure is being installed, not just planned. Underground and overhead MEP work is actively progressing across both facilities, alongside continued development of generator yards and roofing systems. Inside, data halls, corridors, and electrical rooms are beginning to take shape as interior buildout moves forward. This stage is where coordination matters most. Power distribution, cooling systems, and structural elements are being integrated in parallel, each dependent on the other to support long-term performance. ATL5 and ATL6 will deliver up to 120MW of critical IT load, designed to support high-density enterprise, hyperscale, and AI workloads. What looks like steady construction is actually precise sequencing. Every system being installed now defines how these facilities will operate at scale. Take a closer look at the latest progress at our Lithia Springs campus.

Recognition like this reflects more than a single achievement. It highlights the impact leaders are making across the industry. We are proud to see Jenny Gerson recognized in Data Centre Magazine’s Top 100 Women in Data Centres 2026. Her work in sustainability continues to shape how infrastructure evolves to meet growing demand while staying responsible, efficient, and forward-looking. This recognition is a reflection of the leadership driving meaningful progress across our industry. Congratulations to Jenny and to all the women recognized for their contributions and influence.

AI-assisted development is helping teams ship software faster than ever. Speed creates opportunity. It also creates something familiar to engineers: technical debt. When teams prioritize solving problems quickly, early solutions often need to be refined as systems scale. That tension between speed and elegance is part of building real technology.

Construction tells a different story from above. What once looked like raw ground is now taking shape into something much more defined. At our Culpeper campus in Northern Virginia, IAD5 and IAD6 are moving from early groundwork into structured development, where design begins to translate into reality. Power infrastructure is being established. Cooling systems are being planned into the build. Every layer is engineered to support high-density workloads from day one. Together, these facilities will deliver more than 190MW of critical IT load, built for AI, hyperscale, and enterprise environments that demand both performance and flexibility. This stage is where scale becomes visible -- not just in size, but in the coordination required to bring power, cooling, and infrastructure together into a single, operational ecosystem. What looks like just construction is actually precision. Every decision made here defines how these facilities will perform for years to come. Take a closer look at how the Culpeper campus is coming together.
