Tour of AI Data Center Highlights Infrastructure Supply Chain
CNBC toured CoreSite’s NY3 AI-optimized data center in Secaucus, New Jersey, and reported how hyperscaler demand is driving a surge in AI-focused data center infrastructure. CoreSite (owned by American Tower) and facility designers like Prime Data Centers described power sourcing, cooling, fiber connectivity, chips, and networking as the five critical buckets for modern AI centers. The story cites major vendors and customers — Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic — and supplier companies benefiting from the buildout including Nvidia, Broadcom, Corning, GE Vernova, Eaton, Schneider and Dover. The article includes recent vendor financials and strategic deals (Corning fiber supply deals, Broadcom–Meta partnership, GE Vernova orders), and emphasizes solutions such as liquid cooling and fuel cell power as responses to rising energy and thermal demands.
Migrating from AWS S3 to MinIO for Self‑Hosted Storage
A developer describes migrating an app from AWS S3 to a self‑hosted MinIO instance after a client required all services run on their own Linux servers. Because MinIO implements the S3 API, most application code (boto3 calls, presigned URLs, multipart uploads) continued to work after setting boto3's endpoint_url and adjusting signature_version and addressing_style. The author details pitfalls encountered: MinIO requires SigV4, path-style addressing (no wildcard DNS), buckets must exist, and presigned URLs include host/path in their SigV4 signature so rewriting them breaks the signature. To serve media over HTTPS the backend implemented a proxy that preserves the original presigned URL, with an allowlist to prevent SSRF and forwarding of Range headers for video seeking. Tradeoffs include single-node durability, operational overhead, and MinIO's AGPL license; alternatives noted are Cloudflare R2 and Backblaze B2.
Anthropic and OpenAI pursue smaller data center capacity deals
Anthropic and OpenAI are reportedly exploring smaller data center capacity agreements, ranging from 20 to 30 MW, to accelerate deployment of AI workloads across the U.S., U.K., and Nordics. Sources told CNBC that both companies are seeking faster 'speed to usable capacity' from existing powered sites, as large-scale gigawatt projects face community and infrastructural pushback. The shift reflects a growing focus on inference workloads, which can be served by smaller clusters. OpenAI surpassed its Stargate commitment of 10 GW and is adding capacity in Georgia and Ohio, while Anthropic recently signed a $45 billion cloud deal with Nscale. Smaller deployments are seen as practical alternatives to large projects, allowing quicker deployment and flexibility.
