Highways Today: AI Data Centres Start Following the Power
Highways Today has published a feature on Lektra: AI Data Centres Start Following the Power.
The piece looks at how Lektra builds distributed AI data centres where suitable energy already exists, instead of concentrating compute in large hyperscale campuses.
What the article covers
- Lektra's partnership with Penguin Solutions to deploy and optimize its EdgeScale AI data centres
- Eight sites already deployed, each at 20 MW or less, designed to run on carbon-free distributed energy
- Energy producers and commercial solar operators as hosts, so a site that produces power becomes a computing location too
- Lektra's Grid 2.0 idea: add compute demand directly at distributed energy resources, rather than relying only on central grid expansion
