Multiple posts discuss the booming data center sector. Modine is spinning off its auto/industrial cooling business to focus on data center cooling with 90% revenue growth, while HPE secured a $1.2B Vultr order for AI infrastructure and raised networking growth guidance to high-teens/low-20s. Data center construction is surging, with Clayco expecting it to account for 75% of its $12B 2026 revenue.
Elon Musk claims space will eventually hold nearly all computing, while Google takes a more cautious approach with Project Suncatcher, launching a test satellite in October with Tensor Processing Units to determine if AI data centers can viably operate in orbit. SpaceX and Nvidia plan to deploy a space-optimized AI system by late 2027, but significant engineering challenges around cooling, radiation resistance, and hardware durability remain unresolved.
