Why Colocation Data Centers Are Essential for HPC, AI/ML, and Mission-Critical Applications

High-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and mission-critical applications are all essential for businesses looking to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced digital world. However, the deployment and operation of these complex systems require significant resources, including space, power, cooling, and specialized expertise. This is where colocation data centers come in.
