DATA CENTERS ON FIRE – Episode 6
Managing the Power (Part 1 of 2)
Data centers are demanding more power than ever before. But as digital infrastructure scales from kilowatts to 300MW+ campuses, how does the industry keep up — in design, in delivery, and in protection?
In this episode, hosted by Miguel Martinez (CCO, VID Firekill), we are joined by Riccardo Cerati (Global Business Development Director, VID Firekill), Antonio Coccia (VP Datacenter Solutions, Riello UPS), and Umberto Sordino (CEO EAE Italia, Chairman EAE Australia, President EAE France & Global Data Center BU Coordinator, EAE) to explore how the rapid growth of digital infrastructure is reshaping the way power is designed, delivered, and protected.
From the explosive rise in power demand to the emergence of prefabricated E-House solutions, this conversation examines how the industry is adapting to increasingly ambitious deployment schedules and ever-changing technology requirements.
As data centers continue to scale, managing power is no longer just an engineering challenge — it’s a critical part of building the digital infrastructure of the future.
This is the first of two episodes in this chapter, setting the foundation for a deeper exploration of power management in modern data centers.

DATA CENTERS ON FIRE – Episode 7
Managing the Power (Part 2 of 2)
Extreme Density, AI Stress, and the Human Element
What happens when data centers push beyond the limits of what hardware and humans can handle?
In this episode, hosted by Miguel Martinez (CCO, VID Firekill), with Riccardo Cerati (Global Business Development Director, VID Firekill), Antonio Coccia (VP Datacenter Solutions, Riello UPS), and Umberto Sordino (CEO EAE Italia, Chairman EAE Australia, President EAE France & Global Data Center BU Coordinator, EAE), the conversation moves from design and delivery into the raw reality of extreme density, AI-driven stress, and the human cost of building too fast.
From a data center in Japan already operating at 1.5MW per rack, to the violent thermal cycles caused by AI workloads, this episode confronts the consequences of an industry scaling faster than it can safely absorb.
Because in a market that never slows down, the greatest risk isn’t always the technology, it’s the pace at which we’re deploying it.
This is the second and final episode of this chapter, bringing together the full picture of power management and its risks in modern data centers.
