DCD Zero Downtime: The Bi-Weekly Data Center Show

This episode is a bit different. With the festive period officially peaking, DCD decided to change tack and instead give you a "year in review," where we talk about our favorite stories from 2025. Join Charlotte Trueman, Zachary Skidmore, Georgia Butler, and Paul Lipscombe as they cover their respective beats. We hope you enjoy it - and happy holidays!

With data centers in space all the rage, we chat with Sophia Space's Cyrill Glockner about the company's step-by-step approach to putting compute in orbit.

The UK wants more data centers. The government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan, announced in January, is driving operators to look outside of Greater London. We talk to Lee Myall, CEO of Neos Networks – a B2B fiber provider in the UK – about the state of the UK’s connectivity infrastructure, what kind of delays are faced by data center operators in the country, and the impact of AI workloads on fiber buildouts.

At DCD, we frequently cover stories about data centers getting funding, mergers and acquisitions, and investment in general. But we rarely get to talk to the investment bankers about it. In this episode, we discuss the current financial market in the data center industry - the trends Pryor is seeing, and the inevitability of the AI bubble. Tune it to hear what an investment banker focused on the technology sector thinks of the current climate. 

DCD speaks to Drew Turner, director of global decarbonization solutions at Danfoss, about how data center waste heat can be best utilized across district heating systems in Europe and further afield.
