AI at Scale: Why Infrastructure is the New Competitive Advantage
CDO New York Roundtable Dinner by Digital Realty

Wednesday, September 23, 2026 | 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM Eastern Time
New York, USA
Overview
As AI adoption accelerates, organizations are discovering that successful AI strategies require more than advanced models and software.
The ability to deploy AI at scale depends on a strong infrastructure foundation, one built to support the power density, cooling, private interconnection, and geographic distribution that modern AI workloads demand.
As enterprise AI evolves from experimentation to production, IT leaders must rethink how infrastructure enables long-term performance, resilience, and growth.
Key Takeaways:
- Why enterprise private AI demands purpose-built physical infrastructure - Traditional approaches were never designed to provide the power density, sovereign in-country capacity, and open private interconnection that AI at scale requires.
- How to evaluate and close the operational gaps in your current environment, including redundancy, resilience, and multi-provider strategy across clouds and regions.
- How organizations can build a flexible, future-ready infrastructure strategy that supports secure, scalable AI deployments and positions IT as a strategic enabler of long-term business growth.
