Nvidia’s workaround for data center backlash: retrofitting old telephone buildings
Nvidia has approached Apollo Global Management about creating a network of small AI data centers in existing Brightspeed telecom buildings across as many as 20 U.S. states, The Information reported, citing people familiar with the talks. The Brightspeed sites could offer about 1 gigawatt of power capacity, letting Nvidia expand chip deployments while sidestepping new-build data center moratoriums and local opposition.
