How should businesses rethink infrastructure when applications, data, and users are increasingly spread across thousands of locations? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Mark Cree, President and Chief Operating Officer at Scale Computing, to talk about why the future of enterprise infrastructure is moving closer to where data is actually created. This conversation was recorded following the 66th edition of The IT Press Tour, where some of the most interesting conversations in enterprise infrastructure centered on what happens when businesses move away from oversized, monolithic stacks and start focusing on practical, distributed solutions. From retail stores and airports to remote industrial sites, the edge is becoming a critical part of modern IT strategy. Mark shares how Scale Computing has spent years building an edge-first platform designed to run critical workloads reliably across everything from a single location to tens of thousands of distributed sites. Mark also reflects on his own journey through the technology industry, which includes founding companies acquired by Cisco and NetApp, working as a venture capitalist, and leading major storage initiatives at AWS. That experience gives him a unique perspective on how enterprise infrastructure has evolved, particularly as organizations reconsider the balance between centralized cloud environments and local processing closer to users and devices. During our conversation, we explore why edge computing is becoming increasingly important for AI workloads, especially when large volumes of data are generated outside traditional data centers. Mark explains how processing information locally can reduce costs, improve performance, and enable entirely new use cases, from monitoring customer behavior in retail environments to running intelligent systems in remote locations. We also talk about the ongoing reassessment happening across enterprise IT teams following major industry shifts, including changes in the virtualization market and growing concerns around vendor lock-in. Mark explains how Scale Computing is positioning itself as a flexible alternative by combining virtualization, containerization, networking, and security into a platform designed specifically for distributed environments. Looking ahead, Mark shares his perspective on where enterprise infrastructure is heading over the next five years. As smaller AI models become more capable and organizations seek greater control over their data and systems, the role of edge platforms may become even more important. Instead of relying solely on massive centralized environments, companies may find new value in distributing intelligence closer to the places where real-world activity happens. So as organizations rethink how they deploy applications, manage data, and control infrastructure, is the next big shift in enterprise IT happening right at the edge? And how prepared is your organization for that change?

The AI infrastructure boom is rapidly reshaping how the data center industry thinks about power. What was once a relatively straightforward utility procurement exercise is evolving into a complex strategy spanning onsite generation, fuel logistics, financing, and system architecture. That reality framed a recent special edition of The Data Center Frontier Show Podcast, which recast and updated a pivotal DCF Trends Summit 2025 session: From Grid to Onsite Powering: Optimizing Energy Behind the Meter for Data Centers. Moderated by Fengrong Li, Senior Managing Director at FTI Consulting, the panel explored how operators are responding as interconnection timelines stretch and AI workloads surge. Li's framing emphasized a core shift: onsite power is moving from contingency planning to critical-path infrastructure. From the OEM perspective, David Blank of Siemens Energy noted that behind-the-meter deployments have accelerated sharply over the past year as developers confront multi-year waits for firm utility capacity. “Everyone would prefer grid power,” Blank said. “But in many cases, reliable access isn't available for five, ten, even ten-plus years.” Panelists agreed that AI's scale and speed are driving a structural rethink. Brian Gitt of Oklo described the moment as a return to industrial roots, with large loads once again building dedicated generation to meet growth timelines. At the same time, new technical pressures are emerging. AI clusters can produce sharp load swings, forcing developers to deploy fast-response buffering technologies such as batteries, flywheels, and supercapacitors to maintain stability. Despite differing technology paths—including gas turbines, hydrogen fuel cells, and advanced nuclear—the panel aligned on one common theme: modularity. Phased power blocks increasingly mirror how AI campuses are actually built and financed. The discussion also highlighted the growing importance of contract structures. Long-term offtake commitments, capacity reservations, and credit support are increasingly required to unlock equipment queues and fuel supply. Other panelists included Marty Trivette of AlphaStruxure and Yuval Bachar of ECL. The event was hosted by Data Center Frontier's Matt Vincent. The takeaway was clear: in the AI era, energy strategy has moved to the critical path—and for many operators, that path now runs behind the meter.
Private label isn't a “cheaper alternative” anymore—and that outdated framing is leaving brands exposed. In this episode of Food for Thought Leadership, Chris Campbell is joined by Hunter Thurman, Founder of Alpha-Diver, to break down how the market has shifted from a simple private label vs. national brand debate into a three-lane landscape: value brands, owned brands, and national brands. Hunter shares why owned brands are increasingly competing on innovation and sensory discovery—not just price—and why younger shoppers, including Gen Z, are rewarding these products on their merits. The conversation also digs into what national brands are getting wrong as they try to defend share—especially the instinct to lean on price cuts and promotion-heavy strategies. Hunter explains why consumer decision-making in this environment is often emotional, not rational, and how brands can regain momentum by reframing the competition: owning rituals, occasions, and end-benefits rather than feature-to-feature comparisons. Plus, Chris and Hunter explore where challenger brands still fit, and why the winners over the next 3–5 years will be the teams that start shopper-back, invest in the “last mile,” and win the emotional face-off at shelf. More About Hunter Thurman: Hunter Thurman is the founder of Alpha-Diver, the behavioral science firm Fortune 500s turn to when they need to know not just what consumers do, but why. Blending psychology, neuroscience, and AI-powered data, Hunter decodes the hidden forces driving consumer behavior—translating human instinct into bold strategy and bottom-line growth. He's a sought-after advisor, author and speaker known for making complex behavior actionable, and for helping brands see what others miss.

What if the biggest transformation in hospitality isn't happening in the dining room, but in the kitchen you never see? In this episode, I'm joined by James Pool, Chief Technology and Operations Officer at Middleby, a company quietly powering more than a hundred brands across commercial foodservice and food processing. With more than three decades spent accelerating how food is cooked, prepared, and delivered at scale, James offers a rare look inside the technology, automation, and connected platforms reshaping how some of the world's most recognizable restaurant and retail brands operate. We explore what the connected, IoT-enabled kitchen actually looks like in practice, and why James prefers to think of it as digital automation for the entire restaurant. From front-of-house energy optimization to automated food safety reporting and real-time equipment intelligence in the back, the conversation reveals how data is being used to reduce waste, improve uptime, simplify training, and ultimately increase profitability at the store level. This isn't about adding more screens or more complexity, it's about removing friction from every step of the operation. James also shares how Middleby is bringing together a vast portfolio of technologies, from rapid-cook ovens and ventless kitchens to robotics and AI-driven service insights, into a single harmonized experience. That integration is opening the door to new formats such as ghost kitchens and non-traditional locations, where food can be prepared almost anywhere without the constraints that once defined a commercial kitchen. Along the way, we discuss how brands like Yum! Brands, Dunkin', Domino's, and Kroger are balancing speed, consistency, cost control, and customer experience in an environment where every investment must prove its return. The episode also takes us inside Middleby's Innovation Kitchens around the world, where operators can experiment with layouts, workflows, and equipment in real conditions before committing capital in the field. It's a powerful reminder that the future of hospitality is being prototyped long before it reaches the high street. So as automation, AI, and real-time analytics move from the factory floor into the heart of the restaurant, is the smart kitchen becoming the most important competitive advantage in foodservice, and are brands ready to rethink how their entire operation is designed around it?

What if the next level in your business isn't strategy… but biology?In this episode of The Rebecca Adehill Show, I'm joined by Dee Zibara, holistic health and wellbeing coach for elite female leaders and the quiet force behind women who refuse to burn out on their way to the top.We go deep into why women are not small men in business, how your hormonal rhythm is your true abundance blueprint, and why hustle culture and soft girl CEO energy both miss the mark.Dee breaks down what burnout actually looks like at a cellular level, how toxins (physical, emotional and energetic) interfere with your capacity to lead, and what it really takes to restore vitality, presence and sustainable high output.If you've built success but feel disconnected from your body, your energy or your edge this conversation will recalibrate you.Because the external expansion you want… starts internally.Connect with Rebecca Adehillhttps://www.instagram.com/rebecca_adehill/Connect with Dee Zibarahttps://www.instagram.com/deezibara/

Ever wondered how a body shop brings a modern, sensor-packed car back to life after a crash? We sit down with Andy Noyes from asTech, driven by Reparify, to unpack the behind-the-scenes tech that turns chaos into confidence: remote OEM diagnostics, precise calibrations, and factory-level programming delivered through a simple plug-in device. From pre-repair scans that reveal hidden restraint faults to post-repair verifications that ensure every module is talking, you'll hear how shops cut delays, reduce supplements, and hand back vehicles that are truly road ready.We dive into real-world cases where this approach shines. Airbag deployments aren't just about swapping a module—procedures can call for new seat belts, sensors, and software steps that vary by brand. Windshield replacements on late-model cars now demand camera calibrations, and we explore why cheap glass can sabotage those efforts even when the camera is mounted correctly. Andy explains how brand specialists pair OEM tools over the internet to program radar modules, run seat weight initializations, and diagnose intermittent ABS issues with live data, saving days of trial and error and protecting drivers from unsafe ADAS behavior.If you manage a collision center, handle glass installs, or simply drive a car built in the last decade, this conversation makes the new repair reality clear and practical. You'll learn why generic scanners miss key modules, how pay-per-use remote support scales from a few jobs to dozens daily, and how transparent reports help set expectations with insurers and customers alike. We round out the show with a quick look at regenerative tire tech on the horizon and a field guide to the best Texas bluebonnet routes for your next drive.If this helped demystify modern repairs, follow the show, share it with a friend who wrenches, and leave a rating with your biggest calibration question—we may answer it on air next week.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Powering AI 2.0 is no longer just a technology story — it's an energy and infrastructure story reshaping capital markets and the global economy. As artificial intelligence scales from training to real-world inference, electricity demand is accelerating at a pace few anticipated.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido is joined by Will Su from BlackRock's Fundamental Equities Group to examine how Powering AI 2.0 is transforming utilities, natural gas markets, renewables, and nuclear power. With data centers expanding rapidly and gigawatt-scale facilities coming online, the AI build-out is driving a structural shift in U.S. electricity demand after more than a decade of stagnation.Will explains why the energy sector sits at the center of AI investing. From the rise of “bring your own power” models to the growing role of natural gas as a dispatchable, scalable fuel source, the infrastructure required to support AI represents one of the largest capital investment cycles in modern history. The conversation also explores renewables, battery storage, and nuclear power — including the limits of restarts and the long timeline for new reactor construction.Key moments:00:00 Introduction Power Is Knowledge: AI's Exponential Energy Appetite02:31 From Tokens to ‘Yottaflops': Why Smarter Models Need More Electricity05:04 Training LLMs vs. Inference: The Next Wave of AI Power Demand06:45 Data Centers at City Scale: How Big Is the Load?11:15 Bring Your Own Power (BYOP): Why Natural Gas Is Back in Focus16:04 Renewables Reality Check: Solar Momentum, Wind Headwinds, and Batteries19:14 Nuclear's Comeback - Restarts Now, New Builds Later21:26 Can AI Beat Humans at Investing?

Day 1,456.Today, as President Volodymyr Zelensky describes the latest Ukraine-Russia peace talks in Geneva as “difficult”, we ask whether the negotiations between Kyiv, Moscow and Washington made any tangible difference – and whether the Kremlin still has room to delay meaningful concessions. We hear from a former special envoy to Ukraine, and report on an exclusive Telegraph investigation revealing how British-manufactured microelectronics have ended up inside Russian missiles used to kill civilians in Ukraine. And we speak to the founder of a new volunteer air defence unit recruiting members from Ukraine's expatriate community to help defend against ongoing Russian drone and missile attacks.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Rozina Sabur (National Security Editor). @RozinaSaburon X.With thanks to John Richardson and former US Ambassador Kurt Volker.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comI'm watching amazing video after amazing video made by AI. They're almost as gripping as the Lowe-Farage blood feud.Hollywood is being “dis-intermediated”, to use the tech lingo. Just as television went from scheduled to on demand, now the content itself is moving that way. Want a different ending to Game of Thrones? Soon you will generate it. And that's just video. What about everything else? Even if just a fraction of the AI hype actually scales, one thing is certain: we are going to need more electricityMore data centres. More compute. More cooling. More fabrication. More automation. Doesn't matter where you are in the world - Asia, Africa, America, Europe - energy consumption is going to go up.Because that is what humans do. As we evolve, we consume more energy. We also get better at consuming energy. It's called progress.Despite ESG orthodoxy, wind and solar subsidy and build, and everything else, global oil consumption keeps rising. That's because it is currently the best form of energy.Cheap energy is the foundation of industrial competitiveness. An economy cannot compete if its energy costs twice as much as its rivals.Despite this inevitability, those in charge of energy policy - and Western Europe is the biggest offender - would have us consume less energy, and make it more expensive.So, because of the idiots, this sector has been starved of investment capital.It's all summarised here in the bell curve.Even in the US, the sector has been starved of investment. Currently energy represents about 3.3% of the total S&P 500 market value. I know times have changed but in the early 1980s this was above 25%.Here is S&P energy to S&P ratio over the last 25 years.Time to put your capital to work, folks, if you haven't already. The house view is that oil and gas companies are where gold miners were 18 months ago. Unloved and under-owned, often tightly run, often cash generative and cheap.We've been calling for higher energy prices in 2026 and we've been rolling investment capital into the sector. Dr John's timely article early in the new year should be your starting point.Today we go a step further.We'll explore how to invest in this theme, plus I'll tell you the three largest oil and gas positions in my own portfolio. I've got an exciting small-cap Colombian gas story to tell you about. Exotic.The setupHere is the 5 year chart of Brent Crude. We have seen the spike, the collapse, the rebound and the drift. What matters is that the market has repeatedly found support around $59 (blue line), a level of support which goes back to April 2021Today we are $67.After a strong January, Brent has eased back, but if you can take a 12 to 18 month view, weakness toward $60 looks more like opportunity to me.On the equity side, XOP, the US oil and gas explorers and producers ETF, has carved out what looks like a massive inverted head-and-shoulders base over the last ten years. It traded near $270 in 2014. Today it's $145.That is super bullish.

Customer conversations generate value. Yet most organizations never connect that value to action. Context gets lost across channels, and next steps never connect to downstream systems. This week on The Modern Customer, Ali Tore, RingCentral's SVP & GM of Conversational AI, shares how agentic voice AI closes that gap. He outlines why organizations must move beyond isolated automation and build systems that coordinate conversations, context, and follow-through across every touchpoint. If you want AI to drive real customer outcomes — not just efficiency — this episode is for you.
