By Jason CarolanChief Innovation Officer, Flexential
In the fast-paced world of technology, one constant remains: change. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and GPU workloads, data center providers find themselves facing an ever-increasing demand for more compute power and storage. Traditional data center markets are struggling to keep up with the evolving landscape of computing requirements, and as a result, secondary markets are emerging as a viable solution. This article explores how Flexential data centers are uniquely poised to meet these evolving demands through its innovative infrastructure and strategic partnerships.
The Expansion of CoreWeave and Its Partnership with Flexential
CoreWeave, a specialized cloud provider, is at the forefront of the generative AI and GPU workload revolution. Their expertise in handling dynamic demands for machine learning, AI, VFX, rendering, and pixel streaming projects is remarkable. To cater to these extensive requirements, CoreWeave is expanding into two new Flexential colocation facilities in Oregon and Georgia.
This partnership between CoreWeave and Flexential is significant, as it highlights Flexential’s unique position in accommodating the increased growth
of compute-intensive workloads. The rise of generative AI and GPU workloads has created a demand for specialized infrastructure capable of delivering the high-performance computing power required for these applications. Flexential, with its forward-thinking approach, is well-prepared to meet these challenges.
