Cloud sovereignty in Europe is entering a new phase. After the NIS2 Directive came into force in October 2024, many organisations are asking what the next big step will be – sometimes dubbed, a bit loosely, the “EU Cloud Sovereignty Act”. While no single law with that title exists today, the EU is clearly building a de facto cloud sovereignty framework through NIS2, the Data Act , forthcoming Cloud & AI Development Act , the Cloud Sovereignty Framework and the EU Cybersecu

Why Smart Batteries 4.0 Are Becoming Critical for Data Centers Data centers cannot afford to go dark. Power interruptions, grid instabilities and rising energy costs are now everyday challenges for operators. At the same time, regulatory and corporate pressure to reduce carbon emissions is accelerating. Intelligent, connected “Battery 4.0” systems give data centers a new way to secure uptime, optimize energy use and support sustainability objectives. At Score Group, we bring

Urban nano data centers are reshaping how and where cloud resources are delivered. As AI, IoT and 5G generate unprecedented data volumes, organisations are reaching the limits of a model based solely on distant hyperscale data centers. Latency-sensitive applications, regulatory constraints and energy pressure are all pushing compute back into cities, closer to users and devices. In this context, compact, highly efficient “urban nano data centers” – essentially micro data cent

Reinventing IT operations with AI and energy intelligence AI-powered IT Operations AIOps² is about turning noisy, reactive IT into a proactive, self-optimising engine for your business. Today’s infrastructure is hybrid, distributed and always-on. A single outage can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour when critical systems go down, especially for large enterprises and digital-native businesses. erwoodgroup.com At the same time, data centres already account for rou

Why AI infrastructure will look very different by 2026 AI infrastructure is entering a new phase. By 2026, next‑generation GPUs, optical interconnects and immersive cooling will reshape how data centers are designed, powered and operated. The acceleration of generative AI and large language models is driving unprecedented compute density. High‑end accelerators such as NVIDIA H100 class GPUs already reach up to 700 W of thermal design power (TDP) per device, with 4–8 GPUs per

Introducing GreenOps at the crossroads of IT and energy GreenOps is reshaping how organisations think about both IT and energy. As digital infrastructures (cloud, data centers, networks, IoT) consume more electricity and become critical for every business, the environmental and energy impact of IT can no longer be treated as a side topic. GreenOps is the emerging discipline that connects IT operations, energy management and sustainability, with one objective: operate digital

From Centralised Cloud To Distributed, Multi‑Edge Architectures Distributed cloud is reshaping how digital and industrial infrastructures are designed and operated. After a decade of hybrid architectures mixing on‑premises and public cloud, organisations are now extending cloud services closer to where data is produced — across factories, campuses, vehicles and smart cities. This evolution marks the shift into the multi‑edge era , where hundreds or thousands of mini “cloud zo

In 2025, AI infrastructure shifts from “more power” to “managed power,” reshaping server, rack and facility design so performance, efficiency and resiliency advance together. This article explains what’s changing, why it matters, and how a pragmatic, integrated approach helps you deploy AI at scale without losing control of energy, cooling or uptime.   At a glance AI servers now treat power as a first-class constraint: design from rack power budgets down to workload caps. Liq

DLC—when liquid cooling becomes a lever for performance and sustainability. This article explains how Direct Liquid Cooling can unlock higher compute density, lower energy use, and practical pathways to heat reuse—all without compromising reliability or maintainability.   At a glance Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) enables high-density AI/HPC workloads while reducing cooling energy, fan noise and thermal hotspots. Warm-water loops and heat reuse turn “waste heat” into a resource,

Mesurer la performance énergétique d’un cluster IA au-delà du PUE classique — this article shows exactly how. AI infrastructure pushes power and cooling to their limits, and Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) alone no longer tells you if your compute is energy-efficient. In this guide, we explain practical, decision-ready metrics for AI clusters—from tokens-per-kWh and accelerator utilization to carbon- and water-aware KPIs—plus how to instrument, analyze, and act on them. At Sc

L’architecture hyperconvergée face aux exigences du calcul intensif: can hyperconverged infrastructure really satisfy HPC workloads in 2025? If you’re weighing hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) for high‑performance computing (HPC), the short answer is: yes, in specific patterns—and no, for the most latency‑sensitive, tightly coupled jobs. This article clarifies where HCI fits, where it struggles, and how hybrid designs can align HPC needs with the operational simplicity of
