Neocloud Providers Look to Network AI Data Centers
Neocloud providers such as CoreWeave, Nebius and Lambda are scaling GPU‑as‑a‑service offerings, prompting analysts to forecast a trillion‑dollar wave of capital expenditures for AI data‑center infrastructure. The rapid expansion demands high‑capacity optical networking to interconnect dispersed training and inference clusters, a need Ciena is addressing with its "neoscaler" strategy. Regional data‑sovereignty rules are spurring localized AI facilities, while the massive power appetite is driving investments in gigawatt‑scale renewable, nuclear and hydro sources. Collectively, these trends signal a multi‑trillion‑dollar spend horizon through the 2030s.
