- Lambda and EdgeConneX collaborate on building high-density AI data centres in Chicago and Atlanta.
- The facilities will utilise hybrid cooling technologies and support next-generation AI and cloud workloads.
What happened: Lambda and EdgeConneX to build 30MW AI data centres with hybrid cooling
AI infrastructure provider Lambda is joining up with EdgeConneX to establish more than 30 megawatts (MW) of high-density data centre place in Atlanta and Chicago. The 23MW single-tenant data centre in Chicago is scheduled to be active by 2026. To support advanced AI and cloud workloads, the two locations will make usage of hybrid cooling technologies, which combine air cooling and liquid-to-the-chip direct cooling. With densities exceeding 600 kW per rack, EdgeConneX’s Ingenuity solution has been developed for managing workloads that include high-performance computing (HPC), AI training, and inferencing.

Why this is important
This partnership is an important advancement in Lambda’s development. strategy, which is in line with its goal of implements more than a million GPUs and more than 2 gigawatts (GW) of data centre capacity by the end of the decade. With its strategic development in Chicago and Atlanta, Lambda is well-positioned to meet the increasing needs of cloud services and artificial intelligence, offering scalable infrastructure solutions for hyperscalers and enterprises. In furtherance of meeting the high power needs of next-generation AI accelerators, hybrid cooling technologies set a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. This collaboration highlights how crucial specialised infrastructure is getting to establishing the explosive expansion of AI-driven applications.
