Martynek has been Chief Executive
Officer of DataBank , a leading provider of enterprise-class data center , cloud , and interconnection services , since 2017 . He previously held roles at DigitalBridge and MAAS Telecom .
With the spike in interest around generative AI , a lot of attention has been paid to the high demand and short supply of advanced graphics chips ( GPU ) – but data centre capacity is rapidly becoming an even bigger issue , comments data centre solutions provider DataBank ’ s CEO , Raul Martynek .
“ Even if advanced GPUs can be obtained , there needs to be a data centre with spare power , cooling and network capacity to put them ,” he said .
“ Before the frenzy around generative AI , the data centre industry was already under demand pressure from ongoing enterprise digitisation and cloud demand , with little extra capacity . Now , AI developers are racing to snatch up GPUs and high-performance computing ( HPC ) racks putting additional stress on an already limited resource .”
