AI Infrastructure Expansion
This expanded network will enable high-density compute in Prometheus facilities to deliver scalable and efficient data center solutions while maintaining their commitment to renewable energy and carbon neutrality, Lumen said.
Lumen's networking technology will provide the infrastructure required to meet the demands of AI workloads, from training to inference, across Prometheus' flagship facility in Wyoming and four future data centers in the western US.
"What Prometheus Hyperscale is doing in the data center industry is unique and innovative, and we want to innovate alongside of them," said Ashley Haynes-Gaspar, Lumen EVP and chief revenue officer. "Our Private Connectivity Fabric solution was designed with scalability and security to drive AI innovation while aligning with Prometheus' ambitious sustainability goals."
Sustainable Solutions for AI Workloads
Prometheus, originally established as Wyoming Hyperscale in 2020, adopted Lumen's networking solutions ahead of launching its first development site in Aspen, WY. This facility integrates renewable energy sources, sustainable cooling systems, and AI-driven energy optimisation, allowing for minimal environmental impact while delivering the computational power AI-driven enterprises demand, according to the official release.
"AI is reshaping industries, but it must be done responsibly," said Trevor Neilson, president of Prometheus Hyperscale. "By joining forces with Lumen, we're able to offer our customers best-in-class connectivity to AI workloads while staying true to our mission of building the most sustainable data centers on the planet."
