nLighten CEO Dawn Childs on edge datacentres and sovereignty | Computer Weekly

▤ Summary

nLighten’s CEO discusses how UK power constraints and rising AI demand are shaping the datacentre market. The company is betting on smaller edge facilities that serve local customers and support sovereignty requirements. Enterprises are moving workloads closer to the edge because they want more jurisdictional control and less exposure to cloud and supply-chain risks. The interview also explains why some legacy sites cannot support high-density GPU racks, while newer facilities are being designed for liquid cooling and higher density.
