Редакция ЦОД:Главное
Global Switch has marked 25 years of data-centre operations, using an interview with CEO Ashley Muldoon to position the operator for the next cycle of AI and high-performance computing demand. The company highlighted higher-density compute support, modern cooling technologies and continued development in connectivity hubs.
- Global Switch has passed 25 years of data-centre operations.
- The operator traces its origins to a London data centre that began operating in the late 1990s.
- Global Switch cites Madrid and Paris among its international connectivity-hub locations.
- CEO Ashley Muldoon links future infrastructure requirements to HPC and the need for innovation and flexibility.
- No capacity, CAPEX, project-timeline or technical-performance figures were disclosed.
Data Centre Magazine published an interview with Global Switch CEO Ashley Muldoon as the operator passes 25 years in the data-centre sector. Global Switch said its first London data centre entered operation in the late 1990s and described its subsequent expansion into international connectivity hubs, including Madrid and Paris.
Muldoon identified HPC as a driver of rising infrastructure requirements, emphasising the need for innovation and flexibility. Global Switch is presenting its platform as able to support higher power densities, modern cooling technologies and AI-ready infrastructure.
For operators serving AI and HPC deployments, the relevant issue is not simply access to a site in a connectivity hub, but whether power and cooling systems can accommodate more demanding compute environments. Global Switch’s positioning reflects that shift in customer requirements, particularly where existing facilities and new deployments must address higher-density infrastructure.
However, the interview does not disclose capacity additions, investment levels, site counts, project schedules or the status of any new developments. It therefore cannot be used to quantify Global Switch’s planned expansion or its prospective contribution to available data-centre capacity.
The interview illustrates how an established international operator is framing its infrastructure around rising rack-density requirements from AI and HPC workloads. This could sharpen competition not only for capacity in major connectivity hubs, but also for power-delivery and cooling capabilities; the source provides no figures that would allow assessment of Global Switch’s expansion scale or impact on market supply.
