The Watchtower - Mission Critical and Data Center Perspectives · Beyond Five Nines: Navigating the Evolution of Redundancy in Data Center Design · 26 Mar 2026 podcast

And so it is the, I'll call it current stance, I'll call it from an engineering and commercialization perspective, that the redundancy requirement for some of these applications is just different. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

I don't think it's right. voice-verified

I don't think it's wrong. voice-verified

It's just different. voice-verified

And so, you know, it's going to be very interesting, I'd say, over the next 12 to 24 months when these large scale products come online that in for a lack of better words, I think the industry is just calling them AI factories. voice-verified

So, you know, they're building them to a specification that doesn't require as much redundancy and or at all for the primary product inside. voice-verified

You can't get away from the quote unquote brain of these facilities not having some type of backup because it's just like your computer, right? voice-verified

Random access memory. voice-verified

they have drastically unlimited it. voice-verified

And so I think it's kind of a science project right now. voice-verified

They're saying the end user is fine with that. voice-verified

But let's wait for that one event that happens where an entire data center goes down or an entire AI factory goes down or parts of it. voice-verified

We're greedy humans, as we talk about on many of our podcasts, right? voice-verified

We're going to keep putting more and more in a box and people are going to keep... voice-verified
