AI Speed Starts in the Data Center

Episode notes

AI isn’t slowing down. Your data center is. As enterprise AI moves into real workloads, physical limits show up fast. Power. Cooling. Space. Timing. The conversation shifts quickly from what model to use to whether you can run it at all. In this episode, Schneider Electric CTO Jim Simonelli and WWT’s Chris Campbell talk through what happens when AI infrastructure, data center design and workload placement collide in production. Because “speed to first token” isn’t just about model performance. It’s about whether your environment can keep up. More about this week's guests: Chris Campbell is responsible for the strategy, development, and delivery of WWT's AIaaS/GPUaaS and Facilities & Infrastructure solutions, and their associated GTM to our clients. Campbell has also served as Sr. Director - Executive Engagement and Customer Advocacy at WWT, and was responsible for the strategy, development, and delivery of WWT's global customer executive engagement programs, and has also served as a Sr. Director of Engineering and Architecture - Mid America at WWT, where he was responsible for managing WWT's team of consulting systems engineers and architects in Mid America.
