Data center : l’intérieur du plus grand #datacenter au monde, dans le désert du #Nevada

Aux #EtatsUnis, plus de 2 000 chantiers sont en cours. Dans les cinq ans, 1 000 milliards de dollars (865 milliards d'euros) vont être investis dans ces cathédrales du #numérique, aux quatre coins du pays. https://www.franceinfo.fr/replay-magazine/france-2/envoye-special/video-envoye-special-a-filme-l-interieur-du-plus-grand-data-center-au-monde-dans-le-desert-du-nevada_7893068.html

Last week I had several meetings with customers where I also showcased the #PegaProx project for #Proxmox.

The feedback was honestly amazing. Many were impressed by how PegaProx brings essential enterprise grade features to Proxmox clusters that are still missing today. We can clearly see the gaps that were fixed by #ProxLB, #ProxSnap, #ProxCLMC, #ProxPatch and many other ones! Keep in mind, PegaProx is free and fully #opensource!

That said, we know there's always room for improvement. Whether it is major enhancements or small quality of life tweaks, every detail matters. Over the weekend, I took your feedback from the calls seriously and integrated a number of improvements to make PegaProx even more intuitive and powerful.

Your input drives this project forward. If you feel something is missing or could be improved, let us know!

PS: Pegaprox also support #XCP (#XCPng) ans corss-cluster / cross-hypervisor migrations. So, you can quickly jump over to XCP 🙂

What if we turned "dead" office space into 20-story gravity refrigerators for AI? 🏙️🌬️

I’ve been digging into the Trompe—a 19th-century tech that uses falling water to compress air—and realized it’s the perfect solution for the modern data center crisis.

The Concept:
Retrofit an old elevator shaft with a high-viscosity "slimy" fluid (think plant-based thickeners).

The Power Stroke: You drop the fluid 20 stories. The viscosity "locks" air bubbles in place, creating a liquid piston that crunches air to 8 bar at the basement level.

The Isothermal Win: Because the air is "bathed" in the liquid as it’s squeezed, the water sucks the heat away instantly. You get a blast of 10°C air at the bottom with zero moving parts. * The Feedback Loop: Use the AI server waste heat to "fizz" the fluid at the bottom. This creates a natural Siphon/Airlift effect that pushes the warm liquid back to the roof for free.

Why this beats traditional cooling:
Unlike evaporative cooling, this is a closed-loop system. No massive water waste, no humidity spikes, and no mechanical compressors to break. Just gravity, viscosity, and the server’s own heat powering its own "lungs."

Is it time to stop fighting thermodynamics with electricity and start using building height as a service? 🚀

#Datacenter en #Alsace : le projet de #Microsoft épinglé pour son impact environnemental

Le projet de #data center géant de Microsoft dans le #HautRhin est sévèrement critiqué. La Mission régionale de l’autorité environnementale (MRAe) pointe un dossier incomplet et recommande de suspendre la procédure, révélant de fortes incertitudes sur ses impacts. https://www.rue89strasbourg.com/data-center-alsace-projet-microsoft-epingle-impact-ecologique-384574

I know people who have built a new house but can’t get connected to the electricity grid because it’s already overloaded. Yet the data centre down the road is getting a massive connection because, well, people do need to be able to ask AI who the Pope is.

Au Chili, l’eau disparaît. Pas seulement à cause de la sécheresse, mais aussi du cloud. Ce nuage qui n’amène jamais de pluie. Dans la banlieue nord de Santiago, les marais s’assèchent, les nappes phréatiques se vident et les paysans se retrouvent contraints de migrer.

The key takeaway isn’t just compression—it’s where the bottleneck shifts. KV cache has been dominating memory footprint in long-context inference, so reducing it changes the cost structure significantly. But it doesn’t remove the constraint entirely.

At BuySellRam.com, we’ve observed a recent dip in RAM prices. While the broader market remains volatile due to AI demand, this "cooling period" creates a unique window for businesses.

If you have surplus inventory, don't wait for further fluctuations. You can still secure a high payoff for your used DDR4 memory before the next market shift.
